Case Series of Sphenoid Wing Meningioma - What is a Maximal Safe Resection?

CONCLUSIONS: Although maximizing resection and minimizing recurrence is ideal, GTR or NTR confer a significantly higher stroke risk. Most patients do not die from their meningioma, as all cause mortality was associated only with age. However, perioperative stroke conferred decreased survival throughout follow up. This series demonstrates that an overly aggressive surgical philosophy negatively impacted disease specific survival.PMID:34051247 | DOI:10.1016/j.neuchi.2021.05.001
