Abstract
Introduction Preoperative embolization can potentially facilitate surgical resection of challenging tumors in the intracranial and facial regions; however, its clinical efficacy remains controversial, mainly due to potential morbidity risks. We explored negative factors of the combined treatment of preoperative embolization and tumor resection that affect neurological prognosis. Method This retrospective study used clinical data from 132 consecutive tumors that underwent combined treatment at multiple facilities between January 2016 and May 2021. Basic patient information, tumor characteristics, and treatment details were assessed to identify predictors of deterioration as measured using the modified Rankin scale (mRS) score at three months post-treatment. Results Among the 126 eligible combined treatments, a deterioration in the postoperative mRS score was observed in 19/126 (15.1%). Complications related to embolization and tumor resection occurred in 8/126 (6.3%) and 19/125 (15.2%) of procedures, respectively. Multivariate analyses indicated significant associations between migration of embolic material (adjusted odds ratio 13.80; 95% confidence interval 1.25-152.52; p=0.03), elevated intraoperative blood loss (p=0.04), and deterioration of postoperative mRS score. Embolic material migration was identified as the primary prognostic factor for the deterioration of score. An analysis of 192 procedures, excluding those that exclusively used coils, identified embolization targeting the accessory meningeal artery (p=0.046) and the third segment of the internal maxillary artery (p=0.03) as a risk factor for embolic material migration. Conclusions Embolic material migration is the predominant factor associated with declining neurological outcome that persists into the chronic phase after combined treatment. Given that preoperative embolization is a supplementary treatment option, a thorough understanding of vascular anatomy and striving safe procedure are critical.

Comparison of outcomes with/without preoperative embolization for meningiomas with diluted N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate. Clin Neurol Neurosurg 2024; 238:108178. [PMID: 38387239 DOI: 10.1016/j.clineuro.2024.108178] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2023] [Revised: 01/27/2024] [Accepted: 02/14/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative embolization for meningiomas is controversial regarding its effectiveness in reducing intraoperative blood loss and operative time. In contrast, some reports have documented improved surgical outcomes in large meningiomas. In this study, we retrospectively compared the outcomes of craniotomy for meningiomas with/without preoperative embolization with diluted N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) primarily in a single institution. METHODS Data (World Health Organization grade, Simpson grade, maximum tumor diameter, intraoperative bleeding, operative time, history of hypertension, and time from embolization to craniotomy) of patients with initial intracranial meningiomas were compared with or without preoperative embolization from January 2015 to April 2022. RESULTS The embolization group consisted of 56 patients and the nonembolization group included 76 patients. Diluted NBCA (13% concentration for all patients) was used in 51 of 56 patients (91.1%) who underwent transarterial embolization. Permanent neurological complications occurred in 2 (3.6%) patients. Intraoperative bleeding was significantly lower in the embolization group for a maximum tumor diameter ≥40 mm (155 vs. 305 ml, respectively, p < 0.01). In the nonembolization group, for a maximum tumor diameter ≥30 mm, patients with hypertension had more intraoperative bleeding than non-hypertensive ones. CONCLUSIONS Despite its limitations, the present results showed that, under certain conditions, preoperative embolization for intracranial meningiomas caused less intraoperative bleeding. The safety of treatment was comparable with that reported in the Japan Registry of NeuroEndovascular Therapy 3 (JR-NET3) with a complication rate of 3.7% for preoperative embolization of meningiomas, despite the treatment focused on the liquid embolization material.

Abstract
To identify the characteristics of feeding arteries in skull base meningioma including location and prevalence, we evaluated the distributions and types of feeding arteries in skull base meningioma by cerebral angiography and assessed relationships to tumor attachment. We enrolled patients with skull base meningioma who underwent MRI and cerebral digital subtraction angiography (DSA), from September 2015 to October 2022. Subjects comprised 115 patients (32 males, 83 females; mean age, 52.7) with 117 meningiomas, showing tumor attachments around the "cavernous sinus to the upper part of the clivus" (Area 1), "lower part of the clivus to foramen magnum" (Area 2), and "tentorium around the petrous bone" (Area 3). Frequent arteries, such as the dorsal meningeal artery (DMA), the ascending pharyngeal artery (APA), the tentorial artery (TA), and the petrosal branch (PB) of the middle meningeal artery (MMA) were analyzed in terms of their associations with tumor attachment to Areas 1-3. Meningiomas with the DMA as a feeding artery correlated with tumor attachment to Area 1 (p < 0.001). Meningiomas with the APA correlated with tumor attachment to Area 2 (p < 0.001). Meningiomas with the TA correlated with tumor attachment to Area 3 (p < 0.001). The PB correlated with Area 3 (p < 0.05). Our study founded that visualization of these arteries correlated well with specific areas. These arteries were also the main feeders in each type of skull base meningioma.

Abstract
PURPOSE To identify risk factors for major postoperative complications in meningioma patients and to construct and validate a nomogram that identify patients at high risk of these complications. METHODS The medical records of meningioma patients who underwent surgical resection in our hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 were collected. The patients were divided into a training set (815 cases from the main campus in 2018 and 2019) and a validation set (300 cases from two other campuses in 2020). Major postoperative complications were defined as any new neurological deficits and complications classified as Clavien-Dindo Grading (CDG) II or higher. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted using the training set to identify independent risk factors. A nomogram was constructed based on these results. And then validated the nomogram through bootstrap re-sampling in both the training and validation sets. The concordance index (C-index) and the area under the curve (AUC) were used to assess the discriminative ability of the nomogram. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test was performed to evaluate the goodness-of-fit. The optimal cutoff point for the nomogram was calculated using Youden's index. RESULTS In the training set, 135 cases (16.56%) experienced major postoperative complications. The independent risk factors identified were male sex, recurrent tumors, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class III-IV, preoperative Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS) score < 80, preoperative serum albumin < 35 g/L, tumor in the skull base or central sulcus area, subtotal tumor resection (STR), allogeneic blood transfusion, and larger tumor size. A nomogram was constructed based on these risk factors. It demonstrated good predictive performance, with a C-index of 0.919 for the training set and 0.872 for the validation set. The area under the curve (AUC) > 0.7 indicated satisfactory discriminative ability. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed no significant deviation from the predicted probabilities. And the cutoff for nomogram total points was about 200 (specificity 0.881 and sensitivity 0.834). CONCLUSIONS The constructed nomogram demonstrated robust predictive performance for major postoperative complications in meningioma patients. This model can be used by surgeons as a reference in clinical decision-making.

Abstract
PURPOSE Excision of intracranial meningioma has been associated with major intraoperative blood loss (IBL). The objective of the study was to identify factors affecting IBL during removal of meningioma. METHODS We retrospectively studied medical records of 530 adult patients who underwent surgery for intracranial meningioma at Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital between September 2018 and May 2022. We obtained the following data from each patient's medical chart: age, sex, height, weight, comorbidities, blood pressure, history of smoking and alcohol, imaging examination findings, pathologic diagnosis, albumin, creatinine, calcium, magnesium, hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit, platelet count, activated partial thromboplastin time, international normalized ratio, fibrinogen concentration and blood transfusion. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify risk factors for greater IBL during removal of intracranial meningioma. RESULTS A total of 530 patients were included in our study. Univariate analysis revealed that sex (p = 0.004), two-dimensional (2D) tumor area (p < 0.001), sinus involvement (p = 0.014), World Health Organization grade (p = 0.015), preoperative albumin level (p = 0.032), preoperative Hb level (p = 0.001) and preoperative platelet count (p = 0.004) were significantly associated with greater IBL. Multivariate analysis revealed that greater 2D tumor area (p < 0.001), higher preoperative albumin concentration (p = 0.029) and higher preoperative platelet count (p = 0.03) were independent risk factors for greater IBL in resection of intracranial meningioma. CONCLUSION Larger tumor size, higher preoperative albumin concentration and higher preoperative platelet count were identified as independent risk factors for greater IBL in resection of intracranial meningioma.

Abstract
PURPOSE The utility of preoperative embolization (PE) of intracranial meningiomas is unclear and controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of PE on meningioma surgical resection by completing a meta-analysis of matched cohort studies. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis of matched cohort studies was completed to evaluate the effect of PE on meningioma resection and outcomes. Outcome measures included: intraoperative blood loss, major surgical complications, total surgical complications including minor ones, total major complications including major surgical and embolization complications, total overall complications, and postoperative functional independence defined as modified Rankin Score (mRS) of 0-2. Pooled odds ratios (OR) were determined via a fixed effects model. RESULTS A total of 6 matched cohort studies were identified with 219 embolized and 215 non-embolized meningiomas. There was no significant difference in intraoperative blood loss between the two groups (P = 0.87); however, the embolization group had a significantly lower odds ratio of major surgically related complications (OR: 0.37, 95% confidence interval, CI: 0.21-0.67, P = 0.0009, I2 = 0%), but no difference in minor surgical complications (P = 0.86). While there was a significantly lower odds ratio of total overall surgical and PE-related complications in PE cases (OR: 0.64, CI: 0.41-1.0, P = 0.05, I2 = 66%), there was no difference in total combined major complications between the groups (OR: 0.57, CI: 0.27-1.18, P = 0.13, I2 = 33%). Lastly, PE was associated with a higher odds ratio of functional independence on postoperative follow-up (OR: 2.3, CI: 1.06-5.02, P = 0.04, I2 = 0%). CONCLUSION For certain meningiomas, PE facilitates lower overall complications, lower major surgical complications, and improved functional independence. Further research is required to identify the particular subset of meningiomas that benefit from PE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Meningiomas are often embolized preoperatively to reduce intraoperative blood loss and facilitate tumor resection. However, the procedure is controversial and its effects have not yet been reported. We evaluated preoperative embolization for meningiomas and its effect on postoperative outcome and recurrence. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 186 patients with WHO grade I meningiomas who underwent surgical treatment at our hospital between January 2010 and December 2020. We used propensity score matching to generate embolization and no-embolization groups (42 patients each) to examine embolization effects. RESULTS Preoperative embolization was performed in 71 patients (38.2%). In the propensity-matched analysis, the embolization group showed favorable recurrence-free survival (RFS) (mean 49.4 vs 24.1 months; Wilcoxon p=0.049). The embolization group had significantly less intraoperative blood loss (178±203 mL vs 221±165 mL; p=0.009) and shorter operation time (5.6±2.0 hours vs 6.8±2.8 hours; p=0.036). There were no significant differences in Simpson grade IV resection (33.3% vs 28.6%; p=0.637) or overall perioperative complications (21.4% vs 11.9%; p=0.241). Tumor embolization prolonged RFS in a subanalysis of cases who experienced recurrence (n=39) among the overall cases before variable control (mean RFS 33.2 vs 16.0 months; log-rank p=0.003). CONCLUSIONS After controlling for variables, preoperative embolization for meningioma did not improve the Simpson grade or patient outcomes. However, it might have effects outside of surgical outcomes by prolonging RFS without increasing complications.

Abstract
The role of hypoxia in benign meningiomas is less clear than that in the malignant meningiomas. Hypoxia-induced transcription factor 1 subunit alpha (HIF-1α) and its downstream signaling pathways play a central role in the mechanism of hypoxia. HIF-1α forms a complex with the aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (ARNT) protein and can compete for ARNT with aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). In this work, the status of HIF-1α- and AhR-dependent signaling pathways was investigated in World Health Organization (WHO) grade 1 meningioma and patient-derived tumor primary cell culture under hypoxic conditions. mRNA levels of HIF-1α, AhR, and of their target genes as well as of ARNT and nuclear receptor coactivator NCOA2 were determined in tumor tissues from patients in whom the tumor was promptly removed either with or without prior endovascular embolization. Using the patient-derived nonembolized tumor primary cell culture, the effects of a hypoxia mimetic cobalt chloride (CoCl2) and an activator of the AhR signaling pathway benzo(α)pyrene (B[a]P) on mRNA levels of HIF-1α, AhR, and their target genes were investigated. Our findings show active functioning of AhR signaling in meningioma tissue of patients with tumor embolization and crosstalk between HIF-1α and AhR signaling in meningeal cells under hypoxia.

Abstract
Meningiomas are one of the most common intracranial primary central nervous system tumors. Regardless of the pathological grading and histological subtypes, maximum safe resection is the recommended treatment option for meningiomas. However, considering tumor heterogeneity, surgical treatment options and prognosis often vary greatly among meningiomas. Therefore, an accurate preoperative surgical risk assessment of meningiomas is of great clinical importance as it helps develop surgical treatment strategies and improve patient prognosis. In recent years, an increasing number of studies have proved that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomics has wide application values in the diagnostic, identification, and prognostic evaluations of brain tumors. The vital importance of MRI radiomics in the surgical risk assessment of meningiomas must be apprehended and emphasized in clinical practice. This narrative review summarizes the current research status of MRI radiomics in the preoperative surgical risk assessment of meningiomas, focusing on the applications of MRI radiomics in preoperative pathological grading, assessment of surrounding tissue invasion, and evaluation of tumor consistency. We further analyze the prospects of MRI radiomics in the preoperative assessment of meningiomas angiogenesis and adhesion with surrounding tissues, while pointing out the current challenges of MRI radiomics research.

Abstract
Meningioma is the most common primary neoplasm of the central nervous system (CNS). Generally, these tumors are benign and have a good prognosis. However, treatment can be challenging in cases with aggressive variants and poor prognoses. Among various prognostic factors that have been clinically investigated, bone invasion remains controversial owing to a limited number of assessments. Recent study reported that bone invasion was not associated with WHO grades, progression, or recurrence. Whereas, patients with longer-recurrence tended to have a higher incidence of bone invasion. Furthermore, bone invasion may be a primary preoperative predictor of the extent of surgical resection. Increasing such evidence highlights the potential of translational studies to understand bone invasion as a prognostic factor of meningiomas. Therefore, this mini-review summarizes recent advances in pathophysiology and diagnostic modalities and discusses future research directions and therapeutic strategies for meningiomas with bone invasion.

Clinical Outcomes and Complications of Preoperative Embolization for Intracranial Giant Meningioma Tumorectomy: A Retrospective, Observational, Matched Cohort Study. Front Oncol 2022; 12:852327. [PMID: 35350565 PMCID: PMC8957910 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.852327] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2022] [Accepted: 02/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective The potential benefits of preoperative embolization for intracranial meningiomas are still under debate. We aimed to investigate whether preoperative embolization can improve surgical and functional outcomes, based on controlling patient- and tumor-related confounding factors. Methods We reviewed all meningioma cases in our department from January 2016 to May 2021. Cases in the nonembolization cohort were matched to the embolization cohort by 1:1 ratio propensity score matching, through controlling patient- and tumor-related confounds. Surgical outcomes, complications, and functional outcomes were retrospectively compared between these two groups. Results Sixty-six cases in each group were included in our study after being matched. We did not find any significant differences of estimated blood loss (600.00 (400) vs. 500.00 (500.00) ml, p = 0.31), decrease of HGB level (30.81 ± 15.82 vs. 26.59 ± 12.90 g/L, p = 0.09), gross total resection rate (74.24% vs. 77.27%, p = 0.68), surgical time (302.50 (136) vs. 300.00 (72) min, p = 0.48), blood transfusion rates (53.03% vs. 42.42%, p = 0.35), blood transfusion volume [650.00 (657.50) vs. 535.00 (875.00) ml, p = 0.63] between the embolization group and nonembolization group. The number of patients who experience postsurgery complications were significantly higher in the nonembolization group (39.39% vs. 21.21%, p = 0.02). Patients in the nonembolization group were more likely to have a higher rate of mRS decline postsurgery (31.82% vs. 15.15%, p = 0.04). Conclusion Our study showed significant lower rates of surgical complications and long-term disabilities of meningioma patients treated with preoperative embolization. There were no significant differences in estimated blood loss, surgical time, and blood transfusion volume between embolization and nonembolization groups.
