Özet
AIM: To evaluate the long-term outcomes and prognostic variables in a surgical cohort of pediatric meningiomas treated in a single institution. MATERIAL and METHODS: Medical records and follow-up notes of 23 pediatric patients aged [removed] 3) during the last follow-up assessment. Ten patients (43.5%) had relapse. In univariate analysis, low histological grade (p=0.030) and gross total resection (p=0.024) were associated with favorable outcome. The 10-year overall survival rate was 86%. CONCLUSION: Meningiomas in the pediatric age group are surgically treatable tumors with fairly good outcomes. However, relapses are common even for low-grade tumors; therefore, long-term surveillance and aggressive treatment are needed.
