Overview
Common risk factors in the development of meningioma are history of radiation treatment, female gender, hormones, and some genetic disorders.
Risk Factors
- Ionizing radiation: This is seen with both high and low dose levels.
- Hormones: Some meningiomas have receptors for progesterone and estrogen and can increase in size during pregnancy and the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle.
- Obesity in women
- Increasing age
- Neurofibromatosis type 2
- Female gender
