Meningiomas and Cognitive Impairment after Treatment: A Systematic and Narrative Review.

ABSTRACT: Clinical outcomes after surgery for intracranial meningiomas might be overvalued as cognitive dimensions and quality of life are probably underreported. This review aims to summarize the current state of cognitive screening and treatment-related outcomes after meningioma surgery.
