Area of Science:

  • Neuro-oncology
  • Pediatric Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Intracranial meningiomas are uncommon in pediatric patients under 16 years old.
  • A review of 1397 operated intracranial meningiomas identified 19 (1.3%) in pediatric patients.
  • An additional 274 cases were identified from accessible literature.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the distinct features of intracranial meningiomas in pediatric patients compared to adults.
  • To highlight differences in tumor characteristics and diagnostic considerations.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and analysis of pediatric intracranial meningioma cases.
  • Comparison of pediatric meningioma features with adult counterparts.

Main Results:

  • Pediatric meningiomas show a slight male predilection.
  • Higher frequency of tumors within the ventricular system observed in children.
  • Increased incidence of intra- and peri-lesional cysts in pediatric cases.
  • More frequent absence of dural attachment in pediatric meningiomas.
  • Neuroradiologic diagnosis is more challenging in pediatric patients.

Conclusions:

  • Intracranial meningiomas in children exhibit unique epidemiological and clinical features.
  • These differences necessitate tailored diagnostic and potentially therapeutic approaches in pediatric neurosurgery.
