Organic causes, including brain tumors, should be considered under these circumstances. METHODS: We present a case report of an 84-year-old woman with irritable, aggressive, and delusional behavior. Her earlier diagnoses included altered mental status, encephalopathy, dementia, nonspecified psychosis, ...
It is sometimes used when there is remaining tumor tissue following surgical excision, or when the patient is elderly. Radiation therapy may be useful if stereotactic radiosurgery is impossible, or if a meningioma recurs. Section review 1. What are the two primary causes of hydrocephalus? 2. ...

Bilateral dural devascularization shortens the surgical resection time and permits total removal of the tumor. The procedure causes tumor necrosis, expanding the spectrum of meningiomas that can be safely resectioned during surgery. PVA particles ranging in size from 100 to 2000 microns have been ...

Because of their tendency to insinuate themselves into crevices and foramina in the brain, meningiomas may extend into the orbit along the sheaths of the optic nerve. This causes proptosis, usually with a normal sized optic foramen with no limitation of ocular rotation. Although meningiomas may ...
Meningiomas account for 15–20% of all primary brain tumors in adults, and are the most common benign primary neoplasm of the brain [3]. Tumor classification is highly meaningful, as early RT may be withheld in low-grade disease, whereas higher-grade meningiomas (atypical and malignant disease...
which comprise the majority of cell types in the adult human brain, and are capable of producing synapses in high-density organoid coculture52. Using live imaging, we found that M10G cells, which were derived from a WHO grade I meningioma, formed tumor spheres at the surface of cerebral org...
Post-operative hematoma after surgery for intracranial meningiomas: causes, avoidable risk factors and clinical outcome. Intracranial meningiomas are mainly benign lesions amenable for surgical resection. However, removal of an intracranial meningioma carries a higher risk of... R Gerlach,A Raabe,I Scha...
Many causes are thought to be associated with meningioma like trauma, viral infection, radiation and genetic factors. The signs and symptoms are variable, and some of them are specific to the location of the tumor. The diagnosis of meningioma is done by CT scan and MRI, in addition to ...
