Abstract
Intracranial angiomatous meningiomas are a rare WHO grade I histological variant of meningioma whose vascular component exceeds 50% of the total tumor area. Preoperative embolization of angiomatous meningiomas has rarely been reported previously. A 58-year-old woman was referred to our institute for a large petrotentorial hypervascular tumor presented with progressively worsening right facial paralysis and hearing loss for 6 months. Cranial computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a large homogenously enhancing multilobulated mass involving middle and posterior cranial fossae with marked brainstem compression. The tumor extended into a right internal auditory canal and labyrinthine structures with destructive changes of bony structures. Magnetic resonance angiography showed hypervascularity in the tumor. Preoperative transarterial embolization using liquid embolic materials was successfully performed with resulting in almost complete devascularization of the tumor. Adequate hemostasis was achieved following gross total resection of the tumor (Simpson grade II). A histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of an angiomatous meningioma. Preoperative transarterial embolization of angiomatous meningioma with liquid embolic material was safe and effective in reducing perioperative blood loss and facilitating total tumor resection.

Superselective pseudocontinuous arterial spin labeling in patients with meningioma: utility in prediction of feeding arteries and preoperative embolization feasibility. J Neurosurg 2021; 135:828-834. [PMID: 33186908 DOI: 10.3171/2020.7.jns201915] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2020] [Accepted: 07/01/2020] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Superselective pseudocontinuous arterial spin labeling (ss-pCASL) is an MRI technique in which individual vessels are labeled to trace their perfusion territories. In this study, the authors assessed its merit in defining feeding vessels and gauging preoperative embolization feasibility for patients with meningioma, using digital subtraction angiography (DSA) as the reference method. METHODS Thirty-one consecutive patients with meningiomas were prospectively recruited, each undergoing DSA (and embolization, if feasible) before resection. All ss-pCASL imaging studies were performed 1 day prior to DSA. Two neuroradiologists independently reviewed ss-pCASL images, rating the contribution of each labeled vessel to tumor blood supply as none, minor, or major. Two neuroradiologists also gauged the feasibility of embolization in each patient, based on ss-pCASL images. Interobserver and intermodality agreement were determined using Cohen's kappa statistic. The diagnostic performance of ss-pCASL was assessed in terms of discerning tumor blood supply and the potential for embolization. RESULTS Interobserver agreement in the rating of blood supply by ss-pCASL was very good (κ = 0.817, 95% CI 0.771-0.863), and intermodality agreement (consensus ss-pCASL readings vs DSA findings) was good (κ = 0.688, 95% CI 0.632-0.744). In delineating tumor blood supply, ss-pCASL showed high sensitivity (87.1%) and specificity (87.2%). The positive and negative predictive values for embolization feasibility were 85.2% and 100%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS In patients with meningiomas, feeding vessels are reliably predicted by ss-pCASL. This noninvasive approach, involving no iodinated contrast or radiation exposure, is particularly beneficial if there are no prospects of embolization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal management of petroclival meningiomas (PCMs) continues to be debated along with several controversies that persist. METHODS A task force was created by the EANS skull base section along with its members and other renowned experts in the field to generate recommendations for the management of these tumors. To achieve this, the task force reviewed in detail the literature in this field and had formal discussions within the group. RESULTS The constituted task force dealt with the existing definitions and classifications, pre-operative radiological investigations, management of small and asymptomatic PCMs, radiosurgery, optimal surgical strategies, multimodal treatment, decision-making, and patient's counselling. CONCLUSION This article represents the consensually derived opinion of the task force with respect to the management of PCMs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images for skull base tumors provide detailed vascular information and localization in regard to surrounding bony structures. We report use of the CBCT fusion technique for skull base meningiomas. METHODS Six patients with petroclival or petrotentorial meningiomas supplied by multiple arterial systems were preoperatively evaluated using CBCT fusion imaging. Fusion images were reconstructed from three-dimensional rotational angiography with contrast agent injections from the internal carotid artery (ICA) and external carotid artery in 4 cases, vertebral artery and external carotid artery in 1 case, and ICA and vertebral artery in 1 case. RESULTS The feeding pedicles and tumor stains from 2 arterial systems were differentiated by separate colors. The courses and territories of the ICA dural feeders or ICA/vertebral artery pial feeders were easily distinguished from the external carotid artery dural feeders. Anastomoses between thin feeders from different arterial systems could be detected. Mixed stain (stain with both colors) was observed in some tumor compartments, suggesting dual supply from 2 arterial systems and the presence of peritumoral anastomoses. All patients underwent preoperative embolization without complications. CONCLUSIONS CBCT fusion images clearly visualized the feeders from each arterial system, the vascular compartments within the tumor, and possible peritumoral anastomoses. This technique provides a substantial contribution to both preoperative embolization and surgical resection of skull base meningiomas.

Abstract
Embolization of hypervascular tumors has been widely performed for over four decades, particularly for preoperative meningioma. Several benefits of preoperative embolization have been reported, including reduced blood loss, surgical time and surgical complications, and improved outcomes. However, the technical details of both embolization and surgical procedures, and lesions widely vary. Thus, the actual benefits of preoperative embolization have not been clarified by prospective randomized studies. Procedure-related complications due to embolization developed in 3%-12% in previous studies. For parasellar lesions, both surgical resection and embolization have a higher risk of complication than for lesions at other locations because of the complicated neurovascular anatomy in the parasellar area. Therefore, close attention should be paid to the detailed vascular anatomy, embolic material, and related information for embolization and resection in individual cases to improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
Background Giant pituitary adenomas, with maximum diameter of at least 40 mm, continue to involve high surgical risks despite recent advances in microsurgical and/or endoscopic surgery. We treated a case of giant pituitary adenoma with preoperative endovascular embolization in an attempt to reduce blood loss. Case presentation A 48-year-old Japanese Woman presented with severe right visual disturbance. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a giant pituitary adenoma with maximum diameter of 82 mm. Angiography revealed significant tumor stain, with blood supply mainly from the branches of the right meningohypophyseal trunk. These feeding arteries were endovascularly embolized with n-butyl cyanoacrylate. Subsequently, the tumor was safely removed by transsphenoidal surgery in two stages. The patient showed significant improvement of visual disturbance postoperatively, and was discharged without other neurological deficit. The surgical policy was explained preoperatively to the patients and written informed consents were obtained. Conclusions Preoperative embolization of a giant pituitary adenoma is a useful procedure that can potentially decrease the morbidity and mortality of this devastating tumor.
