23 sie 2023 · The best radiological method to diagnose meningioma is a brain MRI with contrast. It can help to distinguish extra-axial from intra-axial lesions as they have a homogenous enhancement with a feature called the dural tail. Brain MRI also helps to evaluate venous sinus involvement.
12 lip 2023 · Although the surgical management of meningiomas is well codified, several still-controversial aspects remain, such as how to define the extent of tumor resection, how to manage invasive meningiomas (aggressive versus more conservative resection) and when to use the endonasal transbasal approaches for midline skull base meningiomas.
19 cze 2024 · Current diagnosis of meningioma has been facilitated by MRI scans, and most patients with meningiomas have good prognosis without affecting the quality of life after successful treatment, like gross total resection (GTR).
Patients with suspected meningioma should have standard structural MRI (defined as T2 weighted, FLAIR, DWI series and T1 pre- and post-contrast volume) as the initial diagnostic test, unless MRI is contraindicated. CT imaging should be considered if bone involvement is suspected.
5 maj 2022 · PPM should be considered in the differential diagnosis of isolated pulmonary masses found incidentally on CT and should be diagnosed based on a combination of radiological and histological features. Surgical resection is currently the main treatment strategy. No recurrence of benign PPMs has been reported after complete resection.
13 gru 2021 · Meningiomas are typically benign and slow-growing, but these types of central nervous system tumors can become life-threatening. Franco DeMonte, M.D., shares what to know about diagnosis and treatment – and symptoms to watch for.
29 cze 2023 · Diagnosis should be confirmed by the characteristic appearance on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with and without contrast enhancement. Asymptomatic lesions may be followed up with serial observation. Treatment of symptomatic meningioma is usually surgical resection, although in some cases, local radiation therapy is used as primary treatment.
