Management of Lumbar Spinal Meningioma: A Systematic Review
نویسنده
چکیده
Meningiomas are typically benign, slowly growing tumors. Meningiomas of the spine are most commonly intradural, extramedullary lesions and account of 25% – 46% of all spinal cord tumors in adults (Peker et al., 2005). Approximately 80% of spinal meningiomas occur in the thoracic spine, followed in frequency by cervical and lumbar lesions (Helseth et al., 1989; Levy et al., 1982; Roux et al., 1996; Solero et al., 1989) and little is known about lumbar spinal meningiomas. In this chapter, the outcomes of clinical studies regarding treatment of lumbar spinal meningioma are reviewed.
