Introduction: Meningiomas are the most common primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors, with an incidence of 8.14 per 100,000 habitants. They represent 30% of all adult primary brain tumor diagnoses in the United States in contrast to Latin America with 50%. In Mexico, there are no epidemiological trends of meningiomas or other CNS tumors. Simpson resection grade and WHO grade are the prognostic factors with the greatest effect. In this paper, we describe the correlation between the survival free of disease and the gross total resection with its histological type according to Simpson’s grading scale. Materials and methods: A descriptive, analytical, retrospective, case-control study was conducted in two public third -level hospitals and three second- level hospitals in two cities of Mexico, (Mexico City and Guadalajara, Jalisco in a period of 10 years (2010-2020). An analysis of measures of central tendency was performed for age, sex, location, histological type, and postsurgical Simpson grade.Results: 26 patients of 179 had recurrence. Among the total recurrences, 15.4% were Simpson 1, 69.2%Simpson 2, and 15.4%Simpson 3. The survival for Simpson 1 was 142.0 months, Simpson 2 90.32 months, and Simpson 3 69.13 months. According to the histological type, the meningiomas with the lowest survival were the microcystic ones with 60 months, followed by the atypical ones with 90.4 months, and the psammomatous ones with 99.8 months. Conclusion: Surgical resection and the histological type are factors that affect progression free -survival. The Mexican population presents characteristics similar to those described in world literature.Importance of the study: This is the first study of its kind in the Mexican population and lays the foundations for future studies in the Latin American population.
