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 ...

Grossly term meningiomas describe group of tumours arising from meninges. It is a slow growing tumour. It can involve any age group and gender, however it is more common in elderly and in females. It is most common secondary malignancy attributed to radiation exposure. World Health Organization typically classifies it in three different grades. Grade I is benign, grade II atypical and grade III...

Most meningiomas are benign; however anaplastic usually highly invasive and grow rapidly. These tumors can metastases outside the blood-brain barrier occurring to lungs. We present an unusual case of multiple pulmonary from recurrent intracranial meningioma in a 59-year-old male patient. Multiple very rare, but we should be aware this possibility patients with malignant especially, potential pr...

BACKGROUND Congenital hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors, and the intracranial counterpart was described in very few cases. CASE DESCRIPTION A newborn presented with an intracranial tumor associated with an arachnoid cyst, diagnosed by antenatal ultrasound at 37 weeks of gestation. Surgery was indicated due to increased head circumference and bulging fontanelle, and a complete resection o...

Meningiomas presenting as an intracranial neoplasm are relatively common. (15–18%).However, primary extracranial (ectopic, extracalvarial) meningiomas of the ear and temporal bone are rare, making up for less than 1% of all meningiomas. 1 The known female preponderance of intracranial meningiomas is also seen in the external auditory canal meningioma. They may be primary (very rare) or secondar...

Multiple intracranial meningiomas are a condition where there is more than one meningioma in several intracranial locations in the same patient without signs of neurofibromatosis. Incidence varies from 1 to 10%. The prognosis of multiple intracranial meningioma does not differ from benign solitary meningiomas despite the multiplicity. However, the simultaneous occurrence of different grades of ...

Background: Meningioma is a primary intracranial benign tumor that affected by the balance of estrogen and progesterone hormones. This study aimed to assess relationship between receptor (ER) expression (PR) in meningioma conditions.
 Methods: Analytical observational research with cross-sectional design. The number samples 25 patients who performed ER PR examinations. was at Dr. Kariadi G...
