Summary: This study successfully performed surgery for meningioma resection using three-dimensional computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging angiography to enhance the surrounding blood vessels. The case showed favorable clinical outcomes and no neurological abnormalities after the surgery. This is the first case report describing the use of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging angiography for the treatment of meningioma with good results.

Summary: The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and accuracy of a hand-held Raman spectroscopy device as a neuronavigation aid in accurately detecting neoplastic tissue. The study found that the device had high sensitivity and specificity, making it a potentially useful tool for guiding tumor resection.

Summary: Meningiomas are the most common benign tumors of the central nervous system, typically intracranial but can also be extracranial or infiltrate the skull. A systematic review and case study of primary extracranial meningioma highlight the significance of surgical resection and whole-body Ga-68-DOTATOC PET/CT in management.

Summary: This study investigated dogs that underwent surgery for intracranial meningioma resection and found that 94% of dogs survived to hospital discharge with a median survival time of 386 days. Approximately 50% of dogs survived for less than a year, while 25% survived between 1 and 2 years, 15% survived between 2 and 3 years, and 10% survived for greater than 3 years following discharge from hospital. The use of adjunctive therapies did not show a clear benefit in terms of survival time. Dogs that had a transfrontal approach had a significantly reduced survival time compared to those that had a rostrotentorial approach.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of tuberculum sellae meningioma patients treated with multiple skull base approaches, including a transcranial approach and an extended endonasal transsphenoidal approach.

Summary: Frailty is associated with in-hospital complications and nonroutine disposition after craniotomy for benign and malignant brain tumors, as well as increased length of stay. Frail patients have a higher in-hospital mortality rate compared to non-frail patients, but are not more likely to be readmitted. Further research is needed to identify strategies to improve outcomes for these at-risk patients.

Summary: This article introduces the challenges and surgical methods for large anterior clinoidal meningiomas, using a tailored frontotemporoorbitozygomatic craniotomy with emphasis on anterior clinoidectomy and the various approaches that can be achieved. The methodical dissection of the tumor and other critical structures is also demonstrated.

Summary: The study found that the application of the LACE index in the field of neurosurgery varies, but the enhanced LACE-Cranial model can effectively predict short-term postdischarge mortality for different types of surgeries and significantly improve the prediction of short-term readmissions.

Summary: The study demonstrates that both endonasal and supraorbital approaches are safe and effective for tuberculum sellae meningioma removal. Endonasal approach may be preferred for most cases due to easier access to optic canals and better tumor removal.

Summary: This study demonstrated that both endonasal and supraorbital approaches are safe and effective for removing tuberculum sellae meningiomas (TSM). Larger tumors and lateral extension favor the supraorbital route, while tumors with greater extension below the planum and invasion of the optic canal favor the endonasal route.

Summary: This article presents a surgical technique called the transtentorial approach for resecting tentorial meningiomas, which allows early access to tumor dural tail and vascularization control without extensive manipulation of the brain.

Summary: This study compared the indications, outcomes, and anatomical limits of supraorbital and mini-pterional craniotomies in brain tumor patients. The results showed that the supraorbital approach provided a greater surgical access, and both approaches could benefit from endoscopy assistance.
