Abstract
We have examined the clinical characteristics and treatment of ectopic meningiomas (EMs). Samples from 17 patients with EMs were analyzed, and their clinical characteristics, mechanism, and treatment were studied in combination with the literature. The main clinical manifestations of EMs included increased intracranial pressure, epilepsy, local mass, and local occupying effects, but diagnosis of EMs depended on the pathology. Surgical removal can achieve the double objectives of confirmed diagnosis and treatment of tumors. The clinical characteristics of EMs vary with the sites of tumors. Operation is the treatment of first choice. Prognosis is better than that of typical meningiomas.
