AIM Tuberculum sellae meningiomas (TSMs) are suprasellar lesions that commonly extend to the medial side of the optic nerve, resulting in visual impairments in the affected eye as the initial and most common symptoms. The primary goal of surgical treatment for TSM is the preservation or improvement of visual function. The aim of the present study was to assess the clinical outcomes of TSMs trea...

introduction: meningioma is usually a benign brain tumor, but sometimes with aggressive course. the aim of this study was to assess the ability of 201tl brain spect to differentiate the pathologic grade of meningioma preoperatively. methods: thirty lesions in 28 patients were evaluated in this study. early (20 minutes) and late (3 hours) brain spect images were performed and early uptake ratio...

Synchronous primary intracranial germ cell tumors are rare. Only 5-10% of all germ cell tumors are found as synchronous lesion in pineal and suprasellar region. They are also known by the entity "double mid-line atypical teratoma". An 11-year-old male child presented with polyuria, polydipsia and features of raised intracranial tension. CT scan head revealed well-defined homogenously enhancing ...

The majority of benign meningiomas exhibit a slow growth rate and are associated with good prognosis. recurrence extracranial metastases meningioma rare. present report describes the case patient transitional for which total resection had been performed 8 years prior. Furthermore, transformed into atypical meningioma, metastasized to ribs. aimed describe clinical features pathological findings ...

Aim. To analyze the clinicopathological features of meningioangiomatosis (MA) associated with meningioma. Methods. We present one case of MA associated with meningioma. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry were used. Results. The age of the patient was 33-year-old man. Histopathologically, MA was characterized by vascular proliferation with perivascular meningothelial cells an...

Beyond the WHO classification of meningioma: using molecular diagnostics to guide management. Advancements in profiling meningioma are providing greater accuracy prognostication tumours.

Meningiomas are slow-growing tumors, which are generally considered to be benign and rarely metastasize. Although cases of extracranial metastatic meningioma have previously been reported, multiple pulmonary metastases from a benign intracranial meningioma is particularly rare. In the present report, a case of recurrent transitional meningioma with multiple lung nodules, which were demonstrated...

A 19-year-old man presented with bitemporal hemianopsia and was found to have a large sellar and suprasellar tumor, resembling a pituitary macroadenoma. Emergency transsphenoidal approach was attempted because of rapid visual deterioration with headache. However, the approach was complicated and stopped by uncontrolled hemorrhage from the tumor. After conventional cerebral angiography and recog...
