Preoperative embolization of intracranial meningiomas.
The goal of preoperative embolization of intracranial meningiomas is to facilitate their surgical removal by reducing tumor vascularity and decreasing blood loss during surgery. This study is based on personal experience with about 100 embolized meningiomas and on the experience of others. Embolization is performed during the same session as diagnostic angiography. The appropriate embolic mater...
متن کامل[Preoperative embolization of intracranial meningiomas].
The method and results for preoperative embolization are described in 36 cases with intracranial meningiomas. Embolization materials were injected through a transfemoral catheter, selectively placed in the external carotid artery. Chopped gelfoam served as embolization material in 29 pa tients and ivalon particles were used in 7 patients. In 19 out of 36 cases the feeding arteries arose ...
متن کاملSurgical Resectability of Skull Base Meningiomas
With recent advances in surgical technology such as preoperative imaging, neuro-monitoring, and surgical instruments, the surgical resectability of intracranial meningiomas has increased over the last two decades. This study reviewed clinical articles regarding the surgical treatment of meningiomas to clarify the role of surgical excision, with a focus on skull base meningiomas. We sub-classifi...
متن کاملFractionated stereotactic conformal radiotherapy for large benign skull base meningiomas
PURPOSE To assess the safety and efficacy of fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) for large skull base meningiomas. METHODS AND MATERIALS Fifty-two patients with large skull base meningiomas aged 34-74 years (median age 56 years) were treated with FSRT between June 2004 and August 2009. All patients received FSRT for residual or progressive meningiomas more than 4 centimeters in grea...
متن کاملRadiotherapy and radiosurgery for benign skull base meningiomas
Meningiomas located in the region of the base of skull are difficult to access. Complex combined surgical approaches are more likely to achieve complete tumor removal, but frequently at a cost of treatment related high morbidity. Local control following subtotal excision of benign meningiomas can be improved with conventional fractionated external beam radiation therapy with a reported 5-year p...
