Peculiarities and Patterns of Cervical Spine Injuries in Children and Adolescents: A Retrospective Series of 84 Patients from a Single Institute.

abstract：AIM:Meningiomas are very rare in children comprising only 0.44.1% of pediatric age tumors and only 1.5-1.8% of all intracranial neoplasms. We analyzed the clinical, pathological and management profile of these rare tumors and elucidated their differences from meningiomas in adults. METHODS:From 1990 to 2005, 33 patien...
