Pediatric intracranial meningiomas--do they differ from their counterparts in adults?
AIM Meningiomas are very rare in children comprising only 0.44.1% of pediatric age tumors and only 1.5-1.8% of all intracranial neoplasms. We analyzed the clinical, pathological and management profile of these rare tumors and elucidated their differences from meningiomas in adults. METHODS From 1990 to 2005, 33 patients belonging to the pediatric age group with intracranial meningiomas were t...
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 کاملSurgical and Radiation Treatment of Skull Base Meningiomas
Meningiomas comprise approximately 20% of adult primary intracranial neoplasms. Of these, benign meningiomas are known to have an indolent growth pattern, usually without infiltration into adjacent nervous tissue. Because meningiomas have a well-circumscribed character, surgery has historically been the preferred treatment when total resection can be achieved with reasonable morbidity. Surgical...
متن کاملLong-term outcomes of fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy for intracranial skull base benign meningiomas in single institution.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the outcome of linac-based fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy over the last 10 years for intracranial skull base benign meningiomas in patients who were inoperable, who had residual tumors with some components of high mitotic index after surgery and who experienced relapse of the tumor. METHODS Twenty-seven patients with intracranial skull base benign meningiomas ...
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...
