Abstract

Higher life expectancy and higher mean age in general population created growing interest in medical and surgical management of meningiomas in elderly. It is well known that, due to possible complications, pre-operative status and comorbidities, expecially in aged people, should be carefully considerated in the decision-making process. We described our experience with this kind of patients and analized the influence of complications on the outcome.
