Clinical Outcomes of Infratentorial Meningioma Surgery in a Developing Country
2020, World NeurosurgeryCitation Excerpt :Tumor size has been considered as a predictive factor for postoperative outcome by some investigators.12 However, in other reports,13 tumor size did not have any significant influence on surgical morbidity. Skull base meningiomas, especially in the posterior fossa, have been pointed out as less favorable in elderly patients by some investigators.14
Impact of age on complications and outcome in meningioma surgery
2007, Surgical NeurologyCitation Excerpt :Total resection could be performed in 80.8% of younger patients, whereas in the elderly patients, the corresponding rate was 72.2%; and although the difference did not reach statistical significance, it reveals a tendency. In another series, radical excision was performed in similar rates [10]. Dubitation to extend operating duration in patients of advanced age and consideration about necessity of radical removal given the shorter life expectancy may be reasonable in some cases and could explain this difference.
