Long-term outcomes of pediatric meningioma surgery: Single center experience with 23 patients.

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.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessChildhoodMeningiomaOutcomeRecurrenceSurgeryArticle301124133WOS:0005094931000192-s2.0-850808532143566433173603810.5137/1019-5149.JTN.27995-19.2Q3Q4
