Peritumoral vessel characteristics on magnetic resonance venography reflect the sinus invasion status of para-sinus meningioma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Early recognition of sinus invasion for meningiomas matters the clinical intervention. Therefore, we retrospectively investigated the relationship between peritumoral vessel features on magnetic resonance venography (MRV) and sinus invasion status.

Methods

Images of phase contrast MRV (PC-MRV, n=46) and contrast-enhanced MRV (CE-MRV, n=39) were independently assessed by four experienced neuroradiologists, including the adjacent sinus status, the peritumoral vessel count and diameter-associated parameters. The sinus invasion status confirmed based on Sindou's criteria during surgery was taken as the gold standard. The relationship between these MRV-based vessel characteristics and sinus invasion status was further analyzed.

Results

The judgment of sinus inva
