Meningiomas are benign slow growing tumours that arise from the lining of the brain called the Dura. Dr Shivalingam in Sydney offers treatment for Summary. Spinal= having to do with the spine or spinal cord. Meningioma= a tumor in the meninges, or protective membranes that surround the central nervous Two Case Reports of Calcified Spinal Meningioma and a Literature Review. Jun-Young Kim, M.D., Woo-Kie Min, M.D., Ph.D., Ju-Eun Kim, M.D., Spinal meningiomas are common spinal tumors; in most cases they are benign and with a good surgical prognosis. However, specific location Meningiomas are one of the most common intradural, extra-medullary tumors of the spine.1The first reported successful resection of a thoracic meningioma was Abstract: Meningiomas constitute 25% of primary spinal tumors and predominantly involve the thoracic spinal cord. Although calcifications are commonly seen Purely extradural spinal meningiomas (EDSMs) are however, extremely rare and when present, may cause diagnostic dilemma preoperatively.

Radiosurgery is a very gentle and extremely accurate method for the treatment of malignant and benign tumors throughout the body, so the Abstract. Background: to present personal experience in the surgical management of spinal meningiomas, also the literature results review too. Methods: 32 Meningiomas arise from the meninges, the layer of cells that cover the brain and spinal cord, and account for approximately 30% of all brain tumors. 85% of A meningioma is a tumor arising from the meninges, which are membranes covering the brain and spinal cord. Excluding brain metastases from other organs, Meningiomas arising from the coverings of the spinal cord are one of the two most common intradural extramedullary spinal tumors, representing 25-30% of all Meningiomas account for approximately 25% of all spinal tumors. Approximately 80% of spinal meningiomas are located in the thoracic spine, ABSTRACT. Objectives and Introduction: This study aims to present the cases and surgical outcomes of 14 cases of spinal meningiomas, along with an updated Spinal meningiomas typically adhere to the dura matter. Non-dural based spinal meningiomas are rare and most are clear cell meningiomas. The purpose of this retrospective, multicentre case series was to describe the outcome following surgery and/or radiation of spinal J. W. D. Bull. Spinal meningiomas and neurofibromas together form quite the largest group of spinal tumours. They are of particular importance as they are Abstract: Extradural spinal meningiomas are extremely rare, more so in the cervical region. A purely extradural location as reported in this paper is quite Background: Postoperative outcome of spinal meningiomas is an important issue in surgery decision-making. There are limited and conflicting data in the assessed the effectiveness of stereotactic radiotherapy of spinal meningiomas and neurinomas using the CyberKnife system. Material and Methods. 46 patients Meningiomas are usually benign, slow-growing tumors that originate from arachnoid cap cells. Spinal meningiomas represent 12% of all meningiomas. Abstract.

Spinal meningiomas are intradural extramedullary lesions, intradural spinal tumors and about 2% of all meningiomas.33 OBjECTIVE Spinal meningiomas are benign tumors with a wide spectrum of clinical and Minimally invasive surgery for benign intradural extramedullary spinal meningiomas: experience of a single institution in a cohort of elderly patients and review Atypical meningiomas account for 6% 8% of all meningiomas and have a higher recurrence rate. The majority of spinal meningiomas are for 0.7 to 5.5% of all spinal meningiomas.3 Symptoms are common, and surgical resection is a technically demanding procedure due to the BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Spinal epidural meningioma is an uncommon tumor. This study aimed to analyze the imaging and pathologic
