Excerpt
Meningioma is the most common primary central nervous system (CNS) tumor [
8]. In contrast to adulthood, meningiomas are rare among children and adolescents and frequently (about 38%) occur in the context of tumor predisposition syndromes [
12]. In line with the frequent inactivation of
NF2 in adult meningiomas, neurofibromatosis type 2 is the most common inherited syndrome predisposing to the early development of meningiomas, which are often multiple. Other germline alterations predisposing to meningioma development are
SMARCE1 [
14] and
SUFU mutations [
1]. More recently identified drivers of meningiomas include
AKT1/
TRAF7,
SMO,
KLF4/
TRAF7, and
PIK3CA mutations [
3,
