A meningioma is an intracranial tumor arising from the coverings (meninges) of the brain. One of the first intracranial tumors successfully removed, the meningioma is considered the most common of all nongliomatous tumors, accounting for approximately 15 to 20% of all intracranial tumors. Occurring more than twice as often in women than men, meningiomas usually present between the third and sixth decades of life. It is imperative for nurses who work with neurosurgery patients to easily recognize and accurately assess specific characteristics of different brain tumors. Discussion in this article includes origin, signs and symptoms for various locations, diagnostic testing, medical treatment and nursing interventions for patients with meningiomas.
脑膜瘤是一种起源于脑被膜（脑膜）的颅内肿瘤。作为最早成功切除的颅内肿瘤之一，脑膜瘤被认为是所有非胶质瘤肿瘤中最常见的，约占所有颅内肿瘤的15%至20%。脑膜瘤在女性中的发病率是男性的两倍多，通常出现在生命的第三个和第六个十年之间。对于从事神经外科患者护理工作的护士来说，必须能够轻松识别并准确评估不同脑肿瘤的具体特征。本文讨论的内容包括脑膜瘤患者的起源、不同位置的体征和症状、诊断测试、医学治疗及护理干预措施。
