Meningiomas
Key Points
Meningiomas are tumors of the meninges that are usually but not always benign. They typically occur between ages 40 and 60 and are more common among women. Symptoms vary greatly depending on the location of the tumor. Excise symptomatic or enlarging tumors; use stereotactic radiosurgery if tumor remains after excision or cannot be excised completely.
