Spinal meningiomas

Abstract Spinal meningiomas (SM) are lesions with a mostly favorable oncological and surgical prognosis and a low incidence of tumor recurrence. SM account for approximately 1.2–12.7% of all meningiomas and 25% of all spinal cord tumors. Typically, SM are located in the intradural extramedullary space. SM grow slowly and spread laterally into the subarachnoid space, stretching and sometimes incorporating the surrounding arachnoid but rarely the pia. Standard treatment is surgery with the primary aims of achieving complete tumor resection as well as improving and recovering neurologic function. Radiotherapy may be considered in case of tumor recurrence, for challenging surgical cases, and for patients with higher-grade lesions (World Health Organization grade 2 or 3); however, radiotherapy is mostly used as an adjuvant therapy for SM. New molecular and genetic profiling increases the understanding of SM and may uncover additional treatment options.
