| Description |
Intracranial meningiomas represent approximately 20% of all primary intracranial tumors in most large series. The age-adjusted incidence is 0.9 and 1.92/100,000 for men and women, respectively, with an annual incidence of 8/100,000 in more recent studies. Meningiomas in the spinal canal are far less common and account for less than 10% of all meningiomas. There is a distinct predilection that varies only slightly by location. Intracranial meningiomas are most commonly detected in the middle and late decades of life. Meningiomas account for only 24% of primary intracranial tumors in patients less than 20 years of age. |
