title: Current concepts in management of meningiomas and schwannomas.
abstract: Meningiomas and schwannomas are the two most common extra-axial intracranial tumors in adults. Since their initial discovery, these often-benign lesions have shared a parallel metamorphosis in their management. The goal of this article is to provide a review of the current literature surrounding the mainstays of therapy for these lesions.
