Impact of peritumoral brain edema on pre- and postoperative clinical conditions and on long-term outcomes in patients with intracranial meningiomas.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Peritumoral brain edema (PTBE) is a common complication related to intracranial meningiomas. In several studies, researchers have investigated the pathogenesis of PTBE, and the factors involved in its development in patients with intracranial meningiomas have been reported. However, very little is known about the clinical effect of PTBE on patients with intracranial meningiomas; therefore, a systematic examination of this matter is necessary.

Methods

In this study, we performed a systematic examination of 696 patients with primary intracranial meningiomas to assess the effect of preoperative PTBE on preoperative symptoms, neurological deficits and postoperative complications, and long-term outcomes with a follow-up period of 16.8 years. We performed a univariate a
