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] |
