Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Spinal meningiomas are the most common primary intradural spinal tumors. Although they are a separate entity, a large portion of the knowledge on spinal meningiomas is based on findings in intracranial meningiomas. Therefore, a comprehensive review of all the literature on spinal meningiomas was performed.
METHODS: Electronic databases were searched for all studies on spinal meningiomas dating from 2000 and onward. Findings of matching studies were pooled to strengthen the current body of evidence.
RESULTS: A total of 104 studies were included. The majority of patients were female (72.83%), elderly (peak decade: seventh), and had a world health organization (WHO) grade 1 tumor (95.7%). Interestingly, the minority of pediatric patients had a male overrepresentation (62.0% vs. 27.17%) and higher-grade tumors (33.3% vs. 4.3%). Sensory and motor dysfunction and pain were the most common presenting symptoms. Despite a handful of studies reporting promising findings associated with the use of non-surgical treatment options, the literature still suffers from contradictory results and limitations of study designs.
CONCLUSIONS: Elderly females with WHO grade 1 tumors constituted the stereotypical type of patient. Compared to surgical alternatives, the evidence for the use of non-surgical treatments is still relatively weak.

摘要：
背景：脊髓脑膜瘤是最常见的原发性硬膜内脊髓肿瘤。虽然它们是一个独立的实体，关于脊髓脑膜瘤的大部分知识是基于颅内脑膜瘤的发现。因此,对所有关于脊髓脑膜瘤的文献进行了全面回顾.
方法：在电子数据库中搜索了2000年及以后关于脊髓脑膜瘤的所有研究。对匹配研究的结果进行了汇总，以加强当前的证据。
结果：共纳入104项研究。大多数患者为女性（72.83%），老年人（高峰十年：第七），并且患有世界卫生组织（WHO）1级肿瘤（95.7％）。有趣的是,少数儿科患者的男性比例过高(62.0%vs.27.17%）和高级别肿瘤（33.3%vs.4.3%）。感觉和运动功能障碍和疼痛是最常见的症状。尽管少数研究报告了与使用非手术治疗方案相关的有希望的发现，文献仍然存在矛盾的结果和研究设计的局限性。
结论：患有WHO1级肿瘤的老年女性构成了患者的刻板类型。与手术替代方案相比，使用非手术治疗的证据仍然相对薄弱.
