Surgical 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 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 کاملInflammatory pseudotumour of skull base - diagnostic challenge and treatment outcome.
We report a case of an inflammatory pseudotumour (IP) involving the floor of the skull base, which demonstrated aggressive behavior both clinically and radiologically. In this case, the diagnosis was established by clinical presentation, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), histopathological examination (HPE) and the dramatic response towards high dose steroid therapy. The clinical features improv...
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...
متن کاملSurgical Management of Skull Base Meningiomas – An Overview
Meningiomas as extra axial tumours, developing from arachnoid cap cells may occur from all dural structures, cranial and spinal and rarely outside of these structures (Whittle et al. 2004). The skull base is an area with multiple neural structures as well as brain supplying adjacent arteries and veins. Meningiomas, growing on or within the skull can thus be very challenging for the neurosurgeon...
