Abstract:
Meningiomas of the spinal canal are the most common intradural spinal canal tumors encountered in adults and account for 8% of all meningiomas. Patient presentation can vary considerably. Once diagnosed, these lesions are primarily treated surgically, but depending on location and pathological features, chemotherapy and radiosurgery may be required. Emerging modalities may represent adjuvant therapies. In this article, we review the current management of meningiomas of the spinal column.
