N1 - Meningiomas are more common in females and 70-80% express the progesterone receptor, raising the possibility that high­dose exogenous estrogen/progesterone exposure, such as occurs during fertility treatments, may increase the risk of developing a meningioma. The goal of this study was to report the incidence of prior fertility treatment in a consecutive series of female meningioma patients.
