MENINGIOMA
8/12/12
Extra-cranial
meningiomas can occur in three settings. First, in children, they represent developmental abnormalities related to neural tube closure defects. These seem to have a similar pathogenesis as meningoceles and are associated with a good prognosis when excised. Second, they may occur as primary soft tissue meningiomas derived from arachnoid nests associated with cranial or spinal nerves.
