Abstract
The operative time and the ASA score are the most important prognostic factors for the mortality and neurological outcome of elderly patients over 80 years old operated for intracranial meningioma. Even if the number of patients is limited, our findings suggest that, after a careful preoperative stratification in elderly patients, it is possible to remove an intracranial meningioma with good results.
