Risk factors for nonresolving neurological deficits after spinal meningioma surgery: an integrated clinical and volumetric analysis of 202 patients.

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
