  • Title: Personal experience with the surgery of spinal meningiomas.
    Author: Boccardo M, Ruelle A, Mariotti E.
    Journal: Ital J Neurol Sci; 1985 Mar; 6(1):29-35. PubMed ID: 3997460.
    Abstract:
    We present a series of 36 surgically treated spinal meningiomas, emphasising that the complaints of a patient with spinal meningioma are too often misinterpreted and ascribed to other, more common, affections of the spine such as spondyloarthrosis or disc prolapse. CT scanning and myelography should be used more routinely, in order to reduce the delay in diagnosing a spinal meningioma. Excision of the dural attachment is not always essential to avoid recurrences.
