Multiple meningiomas, occurring without neurofibromatosis, share similar prognoses to solitary meningiomas. This study details the diagnosis and treatment of 13 such cases.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Oncology
  • Neuropathology

Context:

  • Multiple meningiomas are intracranial tumors found in multiple locations within the same patient, excluding neurofibromatosis.
  • The incidence of multiple meningiomas ranges from 1-10% in reported series.
  • This study presents findings from 13 surgically treated cases of multiple meningiomas.

Purpose:

  • To report the authors' experience in diagnosing and treating multiple intracranial meningiomas.
  • To analyze the clinical characteristics, diagnostic methods, and treatment outcomes of patients with multiple meningiomas.
  • To compare the prognosis of multiple meningiomas with solitary meningiomas.

Summary:

  • A review of 13 patients with multiple meningiomas (average age 53.3 years; 7 female, 6 male) treated between 1983-2003.

  • Diagnostic tools included CT and MRI; 8 patients had all tumors identified initially, while 5 were diagnosed later.
  • Predominant tumor sites were parasagittal/falcine regions and cerebral convexity; 32 tumors underwent surgical extirpation, and 4 received radiotherapy.

    • Impact:

    • Multiple meningiomas are not a distinct disease entity and lack unique clinical, pathological, or surgical features.
    • The prognosis for multiple meningiomas is comparable to that of benign solitary meningiomas.
    • Findings contribute to understanding the management and outcomes of this rare condition.
