We illustrate this by a case report regarding a meningiomatosis revealed by a treatment-resistant depressive syndrome that improved after surgery. This case highlights the importance of identifying signs of brain tumour in patients with depression. Although there is no consensus about whether brain ...
Surgery is often the first course of treatment. The goal is to remove as much of the brain tumor as possible without damaging surrounding areas of the brain. Radiation therapy, like proton beam therapy or X-ray, usually comes after surgery. The radiation kills any glioma cells that might rem...

The optimal surgical treatment of suprasellar meningiomas remains controversial. While successful surgery has historically been measured by extent of tumor resection (EOR), surgeons must also balance tumor- and patient-specif... K Adham,F Shirley,K Sharon,... - Neuro-Oncology 被引量: 0发表: ...

it is challenging to suspect a brain tumour when patients with depression have a normal neurological examination. We illustrate this by a case report regarding a meningiomatosis revealed by a treatment-resistant depressive syndrome that improved after surgery. This case highlights the importance of ide...
For the majority of meningiomas and schwannomas radical surgery is curative. The risk of CNS neoplasms increases with age and a minority of tumours is associated with rare genetic syndromes (Bondy et al, 1994; Inskip et al, 1995; Preston-Martin, 1996; Fisher et al, 2007). *Correspondence:...
The preferred treatment for a symptomatic and/or growing meningioma is surgery [8, 9]. Pharmaceutical therapies are primarily used pre-clinically or in protocolled trials and have so far had limited success in humans [2]. In vivo research is thus paramount. While a perfectly designed tumor ...
In addition, after surgery, approximately 10% of meningioma patients without preoperative epilepsy experience new seizures. Variables associated with new postoperative seizures include tumor progression, prior radiation exposure, and gross total tumor resection. Both pre- and postoperative meningioma-related ...
