... with histologically confirmed glioma (354 high-grade, 135 low-grade), 197 with meningioma, and 96 with acoustic neuroma. The ratio of left-sided to right-sided tumors did not differ significantly from 1.00 for any of the major tumor types. Low-grade glioma and meningioma occurred nonsignificantly more often...
