Abstract
OBJECTIVES Improvement of patient visual outcome is very important in the treatment of clinoidal meningioma (CLM). The purpose of this study is to determine the association between arachnoid preservation and visual outcome. PATIENTS Fifteen patients with CLMs that caused visual impairment underwent surgery in our hospital. The patients included 4 men and 11 women, and the mean age was 53.3 years. METHODS The clinical findings of these patients were retrospectively reviewed. We divided the patients into two groups based on the presence or absence of the arachnoid membrane. Group 1 comprised cases in which arachnoid preservation was intraoperatively confirmed. Group 2 comprised cases in which the arachnoid membrane was not preserved. The Landolt C chart was used to evaluate visual acuity, and dynamic visual field tests using Goldmann perimetry were used to evaluate the visual field. Results were compared before and after surgery. RESULTS The visual acuity of the ipsilateral eye was significantly improved in Group 1 (p = 0.038). There were no other significant differences between the two groups in terms of tumor volume, patient age, and symptom duration. CONCLUSIONS Patients in which arachnoid preservation could be intraoperatively confirmed had good improvement in visual acuity. Further research with an increased number of cases is needed to confirm these findings.

Efficacy of endovascular intratumoral embolization for meningioma: assessment using dynamic susceptibility contrast-enhanced perfusion-weighted imaging. J Neurointerv Surg 2021; 13:1167-1171. [PMID: 33722964 DOI: 10.1136/neurintsurg-2020-017116] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2020] [Revised: 01/29/2021] [Accepted: 02/04/2021] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In preoperative embolization for intracranial meningioma, endovascular intratumoral embolization is considered to be more effective for the reduction of tumorous vascularity than proximal feeder occlusion. In this study, we aimed to reveal different efficacies for reducing tumor blood flow in meningiomas by comparing endovascular intratumoral embolization and proximal feeder occlusion using dynamic susceptibility contrast-enhanced perfusion-weighted imaging (DSC-PWI). METHODS 28 consecutive patients were included. DSC-PWI was performed before and after embolization for intracranial meningiomas. Normalized tumor blood volume (nTBV) of voxels of interest of whole tumors were measured from the DSC-PWI data before and after embolization. ΔnTBV% was compared between the cases that received intratumoral embolization and proximal feeder occlusion. RESULTS ΔnTBV% in the intratumoral embolization group (42.4±29.8%) was higher than that of the proximal feeder occlusion group (15.3±14.3%, p=0.0039). We used three types of embolic materials and ΔnTBV% did not differ between treatments with or without the use of each material: 42.8±42.4% vs 28.7±20.1% for microspheres (p=0.12), 36.1±20.6% vs 28.1±41.1% for n-butyl cyanoacrylate (p=0.33), and 32.3±37.3% vs 34.1±19.0% for bare platinum coils (p=0.77). CONCLUSIONS The flow reduction effect of intratumoral embolization was superior to that of proximal feeder occlusion in preoperative embolization for intracranial meningioma in an assessment using DSC-PWI.
