Overview

Common risk factors in the development of meningioma are history of radiation treatment, inherited nervous system disorder, and female gender.[1][2][3]

Risk Factors

  • Common risk factors in the development of meningioma are history of radiation treatment, inherited nervous system disorder, and female gender.[1][2][3]
  • The table below lists the risk factors for meningioma development:
Risk Factor Description
Radiation treatment Head radiation therapy and dental X-ray are correlated with an increased risk of meningioma[1][2][3]
Inherited nervous system disorder Neurofibromatosis type 2 increases the risk of meningioma[1][2][3]
Gender Female hormones play an important role in meningioma development[1][2][3]
Cell phone use Heavy cell phone use has been associated with increased risk of meningioma[1][2][3]
Head trauma A positive history of head trauma increases the risk of meningioma[1][2][3]
