Age-specific clinical results in spinal meningioma surgery: should age still be considered detrimental to satisfactory outcomes?
The present study supports the concept that older age might not be a contraindication for surgical treatment in SMs because of the important improvements in functional status and quality of life achieved in this population subgroup. Older patients can benefit from prompt assessment and early surgery in cases of acute onset, with a complication rate not higher than that of younger patients.
