dc.description.abstractBackground: Although meningiomas represent only ~20% ofintracranial tumors, they have been referred to as “the soul ofneurosurgery.” Meningiomas are the most common nonglialprimary tumors of the central nervous system, representing 15to 20% of primary brain tumors. Peak incidence occursbetween the fourth and sixth decades. The female/male ratio isreported variously as 2:1 to 4:1. Management of meningiomacan be done either by surgery, by radiotherapy or by medicaltreatment or combination of any of three approaches.Aims & objectives: The aims & objectives of this study wereto identify the incidence and pathological nature of intracranialmeningiomas. Also to study surgical outcomes of patientsundergoing intracranial meningioma surgery.Methods & Materials: This study was done at neurosurgerydepartment at a tertiary care centre. Retrospective analysis ofdata collected through hospital information system of patientsoperated for intracranial meningiomas between September2014 & March 2017.Results: In present study of 100 cases of intracranialmeningioma, majority were occurring at convexity 34 (34%)followed by falcine 14 (14%), sphenoid wing 10 (10%) etc. Outof 100 cases around 70% cases occurred in 4th, 5th and 6thdecade. There was a female preponderance in our series witha male:female ratio of 1:1.63. The most commonhistopathological type of tumor was meningothelialmeningioma (38%) followed by others. The commonestcomplication noted in present series was post-operative limbweakness either hemiparesis or monoparesis. Overall outcomeafter surgery was seen as 66% neurologically intact patientsand mortality was only 6%.Conclusion: Present study reported that maximum incidenceof meningiomas is in 3rd, 4th & 5th decade and Females weremore affected than male with ratio of 1.63:1. In our study themost common histopathological type of tumor wasmeningothelial meningioma. The most common complicationswere limb weakness, followed by decreased vision and lowercranial nerve palsy which improved with time.en_US
