 | | Meningiomas can invade the bone or muscle, but such invasion is not a sign of malignancy. | | | For surgery of skull base meningiomas involving the cavernous sinus, medial temporal fossa, clivus and medial petrous temporal regions, the surgery has higher complication rates (ref) In this study a large number of preoperative, intraoperative, and follow-up findings were analyzed for correlation with the extent of resection. | | | All of these categories are histologically and clinically "benign." Other variants, discussed elsewhere, are not benign and include the atypical meningioma, malignant meningoma, angioblastic meningioma. |

| | Meningiomas make up nearly 20% of all primary brain tumours. | | | A meningioma is a tumour of the meninges, which are the protective membranes around the brain and spinal cord (see Figure 1). | | | It may be used after surgery for malignant meningioma to reduce the chance of the tumour coming back. |

| | For most meningiomas, treatment with conventional radiation is not as aggressive or successful as radiosurgery, and therefore, represents a second line of therapy. | | | The complication rate of surgical resection is highest for meningiomas around the skull base. |

| | These problems should be managed in conjunction with a multidisciplinary approach (eg, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech therapy). | | | Stereotactic radiosurgery has been advocated as an effective management strategy for small meningiomas and for meningiomas involving the skull base or the cavernous sinus. | | | The study of meningiomas is advancing rapidly in the fields of basic science and surgical techniques. |

| | This surgical procedure, that does not require opening up the skull, is applicable for localized tumors of a certain size, including glioblastoma multiforme, astrocytoma, meningioma, pineal and pituitary tumors, etc. Being completely computer controlled, the process is extremely precise, which means that the risk of side effects and surgical complications is minimal. | | | It can be stated that finally there is a surgical method for brain tumors that can be regarded as truly safe, or at least as safe as any brain surgery can be. | | | The information contained in our reports has been obtained from progressive oncologists around the world, as well as from research scientists, cancer specialists, clinics and doctors. |

| | These tumors are usually non-malignant, but as they grow they put pressure on the brain until functioning is affected. | | | The scan showed a large (walnut size) tumor, or meningioma, on the right side, between the skull and the brain. | | | Therefore, a CT scan was ordered ($900.00) which was done under anesthesia. |
