We accumulated 440 cases of intracranial meningiomas in patients under 16 years of age, and another 27 personal. This review confirms the existence of specific clinical features of spontaneous and radiation-induced meningioma in children. In addition, we discuss various points that suggest a more aggressive behavior of meningiomas in children than in adults. (J Child Neurol 2006;21:31—36).
