Meningiomas are one of the most common extraaxial neoplasms constituting 13–25% of all intracranial neoplasms. It is imperative that proper assessment of the risk and benefit ratio of surgery for patients with meningiomas is done. The analysis was done on patients who were admitted during the period 2010–2013 and were diagnosed as having meningiomas on the basis of clinical and radiological features. Meningiomas are more common in the age group of 40–49 with a female preponderance.Headache was the most common symptom (86% ) and convexity meningiomas were the most common accounting for about 30%. A viable alternative for preoperative standardization and stratification of meningiomas and thus helps in effective risk factor analysis and in helping to predict the risk benefit ratio in patients with meningiomas and in eventual identification of those subjects who would benefit the most in relation to the preoperative characteristics and the patient associated morbidities.
