CLINICAL ASPECTS OF SPINAL CORD MENINGIOMAS: ANALYSIS OF FORTY CASES

Original Research
A retrospective analysis was performed on forty cases of spinal cord
meningiomas, operated on at Dr. Shariati Hospital from 1976 to 1990. Age and sex
distribution, clinical presentation and tumor location were comparable to those
reported by others. In males the tumors were distributed evenly in cervical and
dorsal areas and were often anterior to the cord. This finding makes a different
surgical approach necessary. For prevention of postoperative CSF leakage and
infection, repair and tight closure of the dura is mandatory. Concerning prognosis,
even in paraplegic patients the chance of complete recovery is good.
