    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Oncology
    • Spinal Cord Diseases

    Background:

    • Spinal meningiomas are tumors arising from the meninges of the spinal cord.
    • Understanding their characteristics and outcomes is crucial for effective treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze clinical features, treatment outcomes, and prognostic factors of spinal meningiomas.
    • To identify specific challenges and suggest potential improvements in surgical approaches.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 97 patient cases with spinal meningiomas.
    • Review of patient demographics, tumor location, clinical presentation, and treatment outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Patient demographics and clinical presentation were consistent with existing literature.

  • One-third of initially paraplegic patients regained the ability to walk.
  • Calcified or recurrent tumors were associated with poorer outcomes.
  • Epidural lesions showed a high incidence of invasiveness.
  • Gender-based differences in tumor location were observed (males lack thoracic preference seen in females).
  • Cervical tumors were predominantly anterior to the spinal cord.

    • Conclusions:

    • Spinal meningiomas can have favorable outcomes, even in paraplegic patients.
    • Tumor characteristics like calcification and recurrence negatively impact prognosis.
    • Anterior cervical meningiomas may require specialized surgical techniques.
    • Accurate and timely diagnosis is essential, as initial misdiagnoses were common.
