title: [Multiple meningiomas. Part II. Sporadic multiple meningiomas (report of 19 cases and review of the literature)].
abstract: The objective of the investigation was to document the clinical presentations of a group of 19 patients with sporadic multiple meningiomas without evidence of NF2. The male/female ratio was 4/15. The mean age at the time of presentation was 54.95 years. The diagnosis of the clinically significant tumours was demonstrated in each patient with MRI and CT of the head and spine. Histopathological findings in all tumour specimens demonstrated benign (WHO grade I meningiomas). Meningiomas were localized in a higher incidence in the supratentorial space. The management of multiple meningiomas is discussed and the contemporary literature on this topic is briefly reviewed.
