ABSTRACT
Documented meningioma cases in Central Texas [USA] from 1976 to 2013 were studied utilizing the Scott and White Brain Tumor Registry. All the cases examined were historically diagnosed as meningiomas. Of the 372 cases, most were bening benign tumors [p < 0.05] A majority of the patients were females [p < 0.05]. Elderly individuals [>45 years of age] superseded the younger patients in meningioma incidence [p < 0.05]. Previous data regarding meningioma epidemiology in Texas showed a higher incidence in black patients when compared to white patients. By contrast, this study's findings of Central Texas meningioma demographics show increased incidence of meningiomas in white patients [p<0.05]. This interesting find in meningioma prevalence warrants further investigation with a larger sample size, in order to establish validity and further parse out possible causes of meningioma development among white individuals
