Abstract
A series of 126 patients with meningioma, operated upon 7-17 years ago, is reviewed as to the recurrence of the tumour. The overall rate of recurrence of the histologically benign lesions was 29 per cent. The most important factors influencing the prognosis were the site of the tumour and the degree of radicality of excision. Both factors were illustrated best in the parasagittal meningiomas, which carry the highest rate of recurrence. Infiltration of tumour into adjacent bone does not necessarily carry a higher risk of a clinically relevant recurrence. There seems to be a great variation in the rate of growth of different meningiomas.
