Majority cases were above 50 years of age. Convexity is the most common anatomical location of meningioma. Most common symptoms were headache (70%) followed by seizure in 34.3% of patients. 90% of the cases were benign. Malignant meningioma was 1.4% and recurrence was found in 1.4% of cases. Six patients with histological grades I, II and III meningi- omas were sent for stereotactic radiotherapy after incomplete tumor resection or for residual tumour. Total removal was done in 80% cases and the mortality was 1.4%, in patient who had poor GCS score on admission.Pulse Vol.9 January-December 2016 p.22-26
