While most meningiomas are histologically benign tumors, higher grade meningiomas classified as WHO grades 2 and 3 are not always amenable to the standard treatment. To accurately assess the biological characteristics and prognosis of the tumor, the WHO classification of meningiomas has been continuously revised based on the latest findings. This article describes the recent modifications of the WHO classification of meningiomas. In the 2021 WHO classification, molecular diagnosis was considered more important and it was integrated into the classification as a stand-alone criterion of some subtypes. As for treatment, surgical resection is the mainstay treatment for meningiomas of all WHO grades while the importance of radiation therapy should be emphasized, especially for skull base meningiomas, to balance the surgical risk and for functional preservation. Among the new surgical techniques, endoscopic resection of midline skull base meningiomas has been established over the last decades. In addition, several notable new insights to control high-grade meningiomas based on prospective observational studies are introduced in this article.

Neurofibromatosis Type 2: Multiple Meningiomatosis and Vestibular Schwannomas on 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT.

Authors:
Nuh Filizoglu Salih Ozguven

Clin Nucl Med 2022 Aug 4. Epub 2022 Aug 4.

From the Department of Nuclear Medicine, Marmara University Pendik Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey.

Abstract: Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is an autosomal-dominant tumor predisposing syndrome that results from mutations in the NF2 tumor suppressor gene on chromosome 22. The development of bilateral vestibular schwannomas is the characteristic feature of the disease. However, other nervous system tumors, including meningiomas, ependymomas, and schwannomas, can be seen frequently. Read More

Effectiveness of Super-selective Embolization for Parasagittal Meningiomas and Its Effect on the Level of Inflammatory Factors.

Authors:
Zhaoke Zheng Linwei Jia Peihua Zhang Yaohui Tian Xi Chen

Evid Based Complement Alternat Med 2022 1;2022:2466007. Epub 2022 Aug 1.

Second Department of Neurosurgery, Cangzhou Central Hospital, Cangzhou, China.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of super-selective embolization for parasagittal meningiomas and its effect on the level of inflammatory factors.

Methods: A total of 48 patients with parasagittal meningiomas diagnosed and treated in our hospital from September 2018 to March 2020 were randomly included and assigned to receive meningioma resection (control group) or meningioma resection plus super-selective embolization (study group), with 24 patients in each group. Outcome measures included clinical indices, tumor resection outcome, inflammatory factor levels, and follow-up results. Read More

Eur Radiol 2022 Aug 12. Epub 2022 Aug 12.

Department of Radiology, Fujian Medical University Union Hospital, Fuzhou, 350001, China.

Objective: To investigate the value of histogram analysis of T1 mapping and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in predicting the grade, subtype, and proliferative activity of meningioma.

Methods: This prospective study comprised 69 meningioma patients who underwent preoperative MRI including T1 mapping and DWI. The histogram metrics, including mean, median, maximum, minimum, 10th percentiles (C10), 90th percentiles (C90), kurtosis, skewness, and variance, of T1 and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values were extracted from the whole tumour and peritumoural oedema using FeAture Explorer.

Pseudoprogression and peritumoral edema due to intratumoral necrosis after Gamma knife radiosurgery for meningioma.

Peritumoral cerebral edema is reported to be a side effect that can occur after stereotactic radiosurgery. We aimed to determine whether intratumoral necrosis (ITN) is a risk factor for peritumoral edema (PTE) when gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS) is performed in patients with meningioma. In addition, we propose the concept of pseudoprogression: a temporary volume expansion that can occur after GKRS in the natural course of meningioma with ITN. Read More
