“…Long-term recurrence is rare, and the literature does not show evidence of a higher recurrence rate in patients who undergo coagulation rather than excision of the dural attachment. For spinal meningiomas, coagulation of the dural attachment (Simpson grade II resection) appears to be sufficient, with a recurrence rate comparable to those series reporting dural-origin excision (1,12,15,25,27).…”

“…Consistent with the literature (11,15), complete resection was defined as tumor removal, either with coagulation of the dural attachment or excision of the inner dural layer (thus including Simpson grade II resection). Complete resection was feasible in all patients but 2: in 1 patient (5%), the dural attachment was completely calcified and therefore left in place; in the second (5%), a tiny amount of residual tumor was not removed due to its tight adherence to the nerve root (Simpson grade III resection).…”

“…A ventral tumor is defined as being located anterior to the dentate ligament, displacing the spinal cord dorsally (11,15). Amongst the spinal meningiomas, the ventrally and ventrolaterally located tumors are less common than dorsal lesions.…”

“…In the literature, the thoracic region localization rates have been stated as 83% by Solero et al, as 79% by Voldrich et al, as 76% by Gottfried et al and as 72% by Gezen et al [7,[21][22][23]. On the other hand, in the analysis conducted by Ozkan et al in the patients with the ventral and ventrolateral SM, the localization was observed in the thoracic region (between T1 and T9 levels) in the rate of 52.7%, in the cervical region in the rate of 27.3% (between C0 and C7 levels), and the thoracolumbar region (between T10 and L2 levels) in the rate of 20% [24].…”

Spinal meningiomas, which are usually benign character, rarely show an invasive course. Since they grow slowly in the intradural extramedullary space, clinical symptoms also progress slowly. It is usually diagnosed in the later periods, when the tumor reaches to large size. They most commonly show location in the thoracic region. Although it does not have a real capsule, they can be removed completely or close to total by microsurgical methods, since they are well-demarcated solitary tumors. The most important factor in the complete and safe removal of spinal meningioma is the selection of the surgical approach suitable for the size, localization, and topography of the tumor. In the postoperative period, improvement in neurological functions is observed generally and their prognosis is good. In this study, the natural history of the tumor is explained in detail, by examining the pathogenesis and predisposing factors and clinical symptomatology in the spinal meningiomas. Moreover, it has been also focused on describing the surgical approaches and operative techniques to be used in the complete and safe removal of the spinal meningioma, according to the localization and topography of the tumor.

“…With the advancement of neuroimaging investigation and microsurgical techniques, these tumors can be excised with low morbidity and mortality [1] [3]. Viral infections, exogenous or endogenous sex hormones, ionizing radiation and trauma may be associated with development of meningiomas [4] [5].…”

Post-traumatic meningioma is a matter of controversy with many reported cases of cranial post-traumatic meningioma and rare cases for such pathology in human spine. The author reports a 61-year-old woman who had post-traumatic spinal meningioma at the site of old traumatic fracture for 26 year after her initial trauma. The patient treated successfully with microsurgical resection and posterior fusion with improvement of here recent weakness. The author reviews the literatures for similar cases as well as reviews the controversies regarding the development of post-traumatic meningiomas.
