Highlights
Meningioma is one of the most common brain tumors
The most frequent tumor site was parasagittal and falx and 54.3% of brain tumors were adjacent to the brainstem. 85.9% had first-degree tumors, and in 51.1% had a volume between 11- 40 ml cubic meters
The study revealed the relationship between epidemiological factors, clinical presentations, and therapeutic surgical outcomes regarding the management of meningioma
Summary
Meningioma is one of the most common brain tumors. The overall prevalence of meningioma is 6.59 per 100,000 population.In a study conducted using general cerebral MRI in the general population, the prevalence of meningioma was reported to be 0.9%[1,2]. Meningioma is one of the most common brain tumors. The overall prevalence of meningioma is 6.59 per 100,000 population. In a study conducted using general cerebral MRI in the general population, the prevalence of meningioma was reported to be 0.9%. Meningioma originates from arachnoid cap cells and is often benign and grows slowly. The most common place of occurrence of meningioma is at the base of the skull. Other places in the brain that meningioma can be seen include the optic region and meningioma inside intraventricular or choroid plexus [2]. Meningioma can rarely be extra- cranial, which is most commonly found in areas such as the middle ear, temporal bone, sino-nasal cavity, orbit, oral cavity, parotid gland, in soft tissues of the neck [4]. Meningiomas in spinal cord occur in 80% of cases in the thoracic region [2]
