Intracranial meningiomas in children: report of 27 new cases and critical analysis of 440 cases reported in the literature

Emanuela Caroli et al. J Child Neurol. 2006 Jan.

Abstract

We accumulated 440 cases of intracranial meningiomas in patients under 16 years of age, and another 27 personal. This review confirms the existence of specific clinical features of spontaneous and radiation-induced meningioma in children. In addition, we discuss various points that suggest a more aggressive behavior of meningiomas in children than in adults. (J Child Neurol 2006;21:31-36).
