Natural history of intracranial meningiomas

Copyright © 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved..

We know that the extent of resection is the greatest predictor of long-term survival. However, the potential tradeoff for gross total resection in difficult locations is diminished quality of life. Benign subtotally resected or small incidentally discovered meningiomas may be followed clinically especially in the elderly. In addition, radiosurgery plays a role in the treatment of meningiomas as a primary treatment modality, or as a salvage therapy. Decisions regarding management should be made with an understanding of the natural history and rate of growth. In this chapter we review the known meningioma epidemiology as well as the growth patterns of meningiomas based upon location.
