Abstract
Meningiomas are among the commonest intracranial tumours. The diagnosis is frequently suspected on clinical grounds, but specific proof has up to now depended on radiological investigations and in very recent years on isotope scanning. There have been several previous reviews on the accuracy of these methods of investigation.
