Key Points

  • To identify risk factors associated with nonresolving neurological deficits following spinal meningioma surgery.
  • Analyzed a cohort of 202 patients with spinal meningioma
  • Conducted volumetric assessments
  • Evaluated preoperative neurological status and Ki-67 index
  • Older age correlated with higher risk of ongoing neurological deficits
  • Low Ki-67 index was associated with nonresolving symptoms
  • Early intervention in younger patients linked to better long-term neurological outcomes

Abstract

This volumetry-informed series of patients with SM revealed older age and a low Ki-67 index, along with preoperative neurological deficits, constitute a higher risk of nonresolving neurological symptoms after resection. An early surgical intervention in oligosymptomatic young patients could therefore help preserve excellent long-term neurological function.
