Abstract

Objective: This study aims to identify the key factors influencing functional outcomes in patients with surgically treated space-occupying spinal meningiomas (SM), specifically focusing on the role of intraoperative neuromonitoring in determining these outcomes. Methodology: This retrospective analysis included a substantial number of patients. We conducted a comprehensive examination of pre- and postoperative records, surgical reports, and radiographic data to assess population trends, symptom duration, histology, co-morbidities, surgical approach, and neurological function. Results: Among the total of 55 patients, 48 (86.7%) were women and 7 (13.3%) were men. Laminectomy and hemi-laminectomy were the most commonly performed surgical techniques. The thoracic spine was the primary location for spinal meningiomas. The most prevalent symptoms included sensory abnormalities, gait issues, motor deficits, and radiating pain. In most of the cases total resection was performed. After treatment, most patients experienced complete healing and good functional recovery.
