Spinal meningiomas are common in females, often appearing in the thoracic region. Surgical removal offers good long-term results with a low recurrence rate for these slow-growing tumors.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Oncology
  • Spinal Cord Tumors

Context:

  • Spinal meningiomas represent a significant portion of intradural extramedullary tumors.
  • Understanding their epidemiology and clinical behavior is crucial for effective management.

Purpose:

  • To detail the incidence, presentation, imaging, surgical approaches, and outcomes of surgically treated spinal meningiomas.
  • To analyze the characteristics of 57 spinal meningiomas in 55 patients.

Summary:

  • The study reviewed 57 spinal meningiomas in 55 patients (46 female, 9 male) between 1980 and 2004.
  • Motor deficit was the primary symptom (61.8%), with a mean duration of 6.2 months.
  • Thoracic region (51 cases) was the most common location, with meningothelial type being prevalent (54.3%).

Impact:

  • Meningiomas constitute 46% of spinal cord tumors and 7.5% of all meningiomas in this series.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the preferred diagnostic tool.
  • Total tumor resection significantly improves surgical outcomes and indicates a low recurrence rate.
