Overview

The predominant therapy for meningioma is surgical resection. Adjunctive radiation therapy may be required among certain patients.[1] The Simpson criteria for meningioma correlates the degree of surgical resection completeness with the probability of post-surgical tumor recurrence.[1][2][3] Surgical resection is not recommended among patients with asymptomatic stable meningioma.[1]

Surgery

  • Surgery is the preferred method for treating a symptomatic meningioma.[4]
  • The decision to undergo surgery is based on age, symptoms, radiological features, postoperative morbidity, and patient preference.[4]
  • The surgery is successful if the tumor is completely removed. This is considered curative.[5]
  • When treating meningiomas, the prediction of possible recurrence and survival for malignant or transient types of meningiomas is the most important prognostic factor.[6]
  • As an alternative to surgery, stereotactic radiosurgery can be used either as a first line treatment or at recurrence.[5]
  • In situations where complete resection (with low morbidity) can be achieved, and/or to decompress tumors associated with pressure symptoms, surgery is highly appropriate.[7]
  • Radiotherapy is an option that can be used in the treatment of meningioma but, surgery is usually preferred. This is based on symptoms, age, radiological features, postoperative morbidity, patient preference and when a definite diagnosis is necessary.[4]
  • Preoperative embolization of a meningioma may be done to help in reducing blood loss and surgical time during meningioma resection. This can cause some changes in the histology of the tumor which may lead to over grading of the tumor by the pathologist. The histological changes include: macronucleoli, necrosis, and compensatory proliferation with increased numbers of mitotic figures [8][9]
  • Surgical resection procedures of meningioma include:[1][2][3]
  • Complete meningioma resection, with excision of any involved bone, venous sinuses, and dural attachments
  • Complete meningioma resection and coagulation of dural attachment
  • Partial meningioma resection sparing the dura
  • Subtotal meningioma resection
  • Surgical resection is not recommended among patients with asymptomatic stable meningioma.[1]
  • The Simpson criteria for meningioma correlates the degree of surgical resection completeness with the probability of post-surgical tumor recurrence:[1][2][3]
Simpson Grade Completeness of Resection 10-Year Recurrence
Grade 1
Complete tumor resection including removal of dural attachments and abnormal bone

9%

Grade 2
Complete tumor resection and coagulation of dural attachments

19%

Grade 3
Complete tumor resection without resection or coagulation of dural attachments or extradural extensions (e.g invaded or hyperostotic bone)

29%

Grade 4
Subtotal resection (partial tumor resection)

40%
