“…32,42,53,56,64,67,80 Strojan et al 78 reported female predominance of 1.33:1 in a survey of 126 cases of high-dose RIMs. In a review of the incidence of central nervous system tumors among survivors of the atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Preston et al 53 found that excess relative risk for RIMs is higher in men than in women.…”

✓ The long-term or delayed side effects of irradiation on neural tissue are now known to include the induction of new central nervous system neoplasms. However, during the first half of the 20th century, human neural tissue was generally considered relatively resistant to the carcinogenic and other ill effects of ionizing radiation. As a result, exposure to relatively high doses of x-rays from diagnostic examinations and therapeutic treatment was common. In the present article the authors review the literature relating to radiation-induced meningiomas (RIMs). Emphasis is placed on meningiomas resulting from childhood treatment for primary brain tumor or tinea capitis, exposure to dental x-rays, and exposure to atomic explosions in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The incidence and natural history of RIMs following exposure to high- and low-dose radiation is presented, including latency, multiplicity, histopathological features, and recurrence rates. The authors review the typical presentation of patients with RIMs and discuss unique aspects of the surgical management of these tumors compared with sporadic meningioma, based on their clinical experience in treating these lesions.

“…The majority of tumors were located in the tentorial or subtentorial region. The authors of more recent case-control studies in Sweden 56 and the US 29 have found that dental radiographic examinations performed during the adult years may also increase the risk of meningioma.…”

“…12 Case-control studies evaluating the risk of meningioma with dental X-rays have yielded conflicting results. [13][14][15][16][17][18][19] Initial studies from Los Angeles suggested an increased risk of meningiomas with full-mouth series, especially when acquired repeatedly, before study participants were 20 years old or before 1945. 13,14,16 Subsequent studies from outside the United States, which examined fewer cases than did the studies from Los Angeles, failed to confirm the earlier findings.…”

“…13,14,16 Subsequent studies from outside the United States, which examined fewer cases than did the studies from Los Angeles, failed to confirm the earlier findings. [17][18][19] We tried to build upon these previous studies by performing a population-based case-control study of incident cases, evaluating several types of dental X-ray exposure, evaluating the validity of the recall of dental X-rays with dental records, and assessing the effects of time between exposure and diagnosis.…”

“…In the study led by Rodvall et al 23 , the parish register was used to select the controls, and in the study carried out by PrestonMartin et al 24 the neighbors of the cases participated in the sample. Of all the populational-base studies, only five described that the controls were randomly selected.…”
