Prospective MRI Evaluation in Typical Meningiomas - A Tertiary Centre Experience
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Meningiomas are the most common nonglial brain tumours and are characterised by rather distinct natural history as well as outcome. Pre-operative distinction of typical and atypical meningiomas can help in planning the surgical management.. Methods: This was a Prospective Observation study, done at Government Medical College, Trivandrum over a 3 year period. Study population included the patients with meningiomas evaluated with Magnetic Resonance Imaging, after a previous CT scan. Final pathological diagnosis in all patients was confirmed with biopsy followed by histo-pathological examination. Results: Of the 183 cases studied, 165 cases were found to be typical meningiomas, 15 were found to be atypical while 3 were found to be anaplastic. Conclusions: MR imaging is effective in detecting the salient features of meningiomas as well as in differentiating between typical and atypical meningiomas. This makes conventional and advanced MRI the imaging of choice in all cases of meningiomas
