Management of Intracranial Meningiomas Using Keyhole Techniques
BACKGROUND Keyhole craniotomies are increasingly being used for lesions of the skull base. Here we review our recent experience with these approaches for resection of intracranial meningiomas. METHODS Clinical and operative data were gathered on all patients treated with keyhole approaches by the senior author from January 2012 to June 2013. Thirty-one meningiomas were resected in 27 patients...
متن کاملManagement of Benign and Aggressive Intracranial Meningiomas
Meningioma is a prime example of a tumor requiring a multimodality approach. This tumor is usually benign and often grows slowly. Under many circumstances, such a benign tumor would never attract the attention of the oncologist or even require treatment at all. However, a meningioma is a benign tumor in a malignant location. In the closed space of the skull, there is no room for expansion of ev...
متن کاملManagement of benign and aggressive intracranial meningiomas.
Usually considered benign tumors, meningiomas can display aggressive behavior characterized by multiple recurrences and invasion of the brain, dura, and adjacent bone. The aggressive or malignant phenotype is difficult to characterize due to the broad spectrum of behaviors exhibited by meningiomas. Recent classification schemes based on features of anaplasia rather than histopathology have been...
متن کاملNonsurgical treatment options in the management of intracranial meningiomas.
Surgical resection is the treatment of choice for most intracranial meningiomas. We review the current state of adjuvant therapies, including radiation and chemotherapy. Conventional external beam radiation and stereotactic radiosurgery remain second-line options for patients unwilling or unable to undergo surgery. Radiation therapy is most useful in the setting of recurrent or residual tumor a...
متن کاملNeuronavigation for Intracranial Meningiomas
According to its location, the surgical treatment of intracranial meningioma can be of considerable challenge for the neurosurgeon. Image-guided surgery essencially provides intraoperative localization for dynamic navigation and, also, improves the surgical planning. The continuous development of neuroimaging and computated technology promotes continuous improvement of navigation techniques and...
