- Abstract
Cerebral meningiomas are rare tumors in children that represent 1.4% of CNS tumors and 1.5% of intracranial meningiomas. We have analyzed 197 cases of cerebral meningiomas under 16: 178 cases were taken from the available literature and 19 from our series. When comparing pediatric meningiomas with those of adults, we noted some differences. Before the age of 16 there is a slight preference for males; the intraventricular variety is more frequent; cystic meningiomas and the absence of dural attachment are more frequent findings; the neuroradiological diagnosis is more difficult.
