title: [Semiology of spinal meningiomas and neurinomas (author's transl)].
abstract: The last 60 patient who underwent surgery for neurinoma or meningioma of the spine provide the basis for this report. One-fourth of all cases of spinal cord compression are due to meningioma or neurinoma. Attention is drawn to the characteristic clinical features of these tumors, particularly their time-course, since diagnosis if often delayed. The sooner diagnosis is established, the better postoperative recovery will be, especially in elderly patients (60% of cases). Results of operative treatment are presented.
