Extradural spinal meningiomas

Abstract

✓ Four patients with extradural spinal meningiomas are reported; one had relapsing neurological deficits in two postpartal periods. In a bibliographic review of 35 cases, nearly as many extradural spinal meningiomas occurred in men as in women, five were in children, and three were lumbar or lumbosacral neoplasms in men.
