Patients in this cohort with a history of fertility treatment were more likely to present at a younger age and have multiple and convexity/falx meningiomas, emphasizing the importance of taking estrogen/progesterone exposure history when evaluating patients with meningioma. Future clinical studies at other centers in larger populations and laboratory investigations are needed to determine the role of fertility treatment in meningioma development.
