Impact of vascular supply variability on the prognosis of meningioma patients: a retrospective study based on territory arterial spin labeling.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Territorial arterial spin labelling (t-ASL) could be an alternative method to digital subtraction angiography (DSA) when evaluating feeding arteries by previous reports, however, blood supply variations on meningioma prognosis remains unclear. In this study, the prognosis of meningiomas mainly supplied by the internal carotid artery (ICA) and external carotid artery (ECA) was compared, and relevant clinical factors were investigated.

Methods

t-ASL technique was employed to categorized pathologically-confirmed meningioma patients into the ICA, ECA, ICA co-supplied, and non-ICA co-supplied group. Clinical data on symptoms, age, gender, location, volume, Simpson grade, pathological grading, Ki-67 expression, Glasgow Coma Score (GCS), and Karnofsky Performance Score (
