After 10 years of teaching Food and Nutrition at the high school level, I’ve taken this school year off to recover from my brain tumor surgery. My journey has led me to a place where my calling is now to work withbrain tumor patients, focusing on those with benign meningioma brain tum...
Resection of intra-axial brain tumors under scalp block improves safety of surgery, permitting preservation of neurological function and early recovery. However, limited data is available on employing this anesthesia technique for extra-axial tumors particularly meningioma, raising concerns that it may not...
In our series, surgery determined an improvement of NPF over time; especially with a low complication rate related to the selection of patients obtained through the CRGS. Further studies need to be performed in order to understand how brain edema, tumor size, volume and tumor location affect ...
46 samples), 3 were WHO grade II (23%, 22 samples), and 3 were WHO grade III (23%, 18 samples). Seven meningiomas were sampled at the time of salvage surgery for tumor recurrence after prior treatment
Postoperative recovery was unremarkable. Unfortunately, shortly after surgery, symptoms of middle ear fluid recurred and βTP testing was again found to be positive. Further diagnostic possibilities, such as cisternography and radioactive tracer administration, including its risks and limitations, and ...
tumor progressing from grade II to III (patient #4). The majority of patients (76%) were female, which is consistent with the well-known higher incidence of meningioma in women. Median age at surgery was 47.5 years (range 27–86). Eight tumors (38%) had brain invasion (WHO grade ...
How I would attain that, I was unsure, but the one thing I was sure of was that I would beat this meningioma brain tumor. The first time my grandsons visited after my surgery, my oldest grandson, who was 4 years old at that time, was playing on the swings in the backyard. He ...
The patient’s postoperative recovery was uneventful and 5 months after surgery he began walking again. The latest follow-up magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and spine, obtained 42 months after diagnosis, was negative for tumor recurrence. Though clear-cell meningioma is a rare form of ...
The tumor attributes on T2-weighted image (T2WI) and fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) image were significantly correlated with the tumor consistency (p = 0.004 and 0.045, respectively). The hypointense tumors on both MRI sequences tended to be hard, whereas the tumors showing hype...
