    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Oncology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Radiation exposure is a suspected risk factor for meningioma development.
    • Meningiomas are typically benign tumors arising from the meninges.

    Observation:

    • A rare case of three distinct spinal meningiomas is presented.
    • The patient had a documented history of prior irradiation in the spinal region.

    Findings:

    • The occurrence of multiple spinal meningiomas following radiation therapy is highlighted.
    • Diagnostic myelography was utilized to evaluate the spinal canal tumors.

    Implications:

    • This case supports the hypothesis linking radiation to meningioma etiology.
    • Understanding radiation's role is crucial for neuro-oncology and patient monitoring.
