Meningioma

Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 2006
Total excision is an appropriate treatment option for patients with benign meningiomas that are resectable with minimal morbidity. It is particularly appropriate for patients with significant mass effect causing symptoms. Fractionated conformal radiotherapy is an appropriate primary treatment option for patients with benign meningiomas of all sizes and

Meningiomas

The Lancet, 2004
Meningiomas are by far the most common tumours arising from the meninges. Progressive enlargement of the tumour leads to focal or generalised seizure disorders or neurological deficits caused by compression of adjacent neural tissue. Surgery remains the primary treatment of choice, although the use of fractionated radiotherapy or stereotactic single ...

Meningiomas

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2008
Meningiomas, the most common intracranial tumors, are dura-based tumors that occur in middle-aged or older adults and have a predilection for women and African Americans. They are almost always benign, but atypical and malignant forms exist. The optimal treatment for symptomatic tumors is complete surgical resection when feasible.

Meningiomas

Neurosurgery, 1993
Meningiomas arise in various locations. Convexity tumors are relatively simple to remove. Skull base tumors and tumors adjacent to the major cerebral veins and venous sinuses can be very difficult to extirpate. Attempts at radical resection can lead to serious morbidity.

Cystic meningiomas

Acta Neurochirurgica, 1991
Five cases of meningiomas associated with cysts are reported. In a review of the literature the authors stress the importance and difficulty of the preoperative accurate diagnosis and the differential diagnosis from other cystic tumours to avoid misdiagnosis.

Metastasizing meningioma

Neurosurgery, 1986
Abstract A very unusual case of metastatic spread of a meningioma is described. The clinical presentation was of extradural spinal cord compression, without evidence of a primary tumor. Computed tomography did not reveal any intracranial meningioma; the histopathology of the extradural spinal tumor was identical with that of two ...

Posttraumatic Meningioma

Neurosurgery, 1985
Abstract This report concerns three patients with intracranial meningioma developing at the site of an old head injury with skull fracture. These cases, along with literature reports, suggest a causal relationship between head trauma and the subsequent development of meningioma.

Multiple meningiomas consisting of fibrous meningioma and anaplastic meningioma

Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2003
A 61-year-old woman presented with progressive dementia over a period of 4 months. Computed tomographic (CT) scans and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging showed 2 meningiomas located at the left parasagittal region and the left sphenoid ridge. These tumors had distinct MRI findings; the left parasagittal tumour showed a clear peritumoral CSF space without
