Area of Science:

  • Pediatric neuro-oncology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Neuroradiology

Background:

  • Cerebral meningiomas are uncommon central nervous system (CNS) tumors in pediatric populations, accounting for a small percentage of childhood brain tumors and intracranial meningiomas.
  • Understanding the unique features of pediatric meningiomas is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the characteristics of cerebral meningiomas in patients under 16 years of age.
  • To compare pediatric meningiomas with their adult counterparts to identify significant differences.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive analysis of 197 pediatric cerebral meningioma cases (under 16 years old).
  • Data compilation included 178 cases from existing literature and 19 cases from the authors' series.

  • Comparative analysis between pediatric and adult meningioma cohorts.

    • Main Results:

    • Pediatric meningiomas show a slight male predominance before age 16.
    • Intraventricular location, cystic variants, and lack of dural attachment are more frequent in children.
    • Neuroradiological diagnosis of pediatric meningiomas presents greater challenges compared to adults.

    Conclusions:

    • Pediatric cerebral meningiomas exhibit distinct epidemiological and clinical features compared to adult meningiomas.
    • The unique characteristics necessitate tailored diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for children.
    • Further research into the specific etiology and optimal management of pediatric meningiomas is warranted.
