During a 10-year period (1977-1986), 76 patients were admitted for rehabilitation following surgical extirpation of intracranial meningioma. Medical records of these patients were studied retrospectively. The distribution of patients according to age, sex, presenting symptoms, location of tumors, and neurological deficit at admission for rehabilitation as well as rehabilitation outcomes are reported. Fifty-five patients (72.3%) were graded as severe or very severe at admission. Patients who underwent total excision of their meningioma showed more satisfactory rehabilitation outcomes than those with an incomplete extirpation. The majority of patients had satisfactory rehabilitation outcomes, which, along with the average length of time invested, were comparable to those of patients following stroke.

Key Words: Intracranial meningioma • Postcraniotomy rehabilitation.
