Reasons
Meningioma is a tumor of the meninges that arises from the cells of the arachnoid membrane and fuses tightly with the dura mater.
The cause of meningiomas, like other human cerebral tumors, is not fully known. Meningiomas are more common in women. Some meningiomas are accompanied by significant swelling of the brain, especially around giant meningiomas.
A characteristic feature of meningiomas is their continued growth. The possibility of total surgical removal depends on the location, size, and involvement of adjacent nerve structures in the tumor.
Degrees
Meningiomas are divided into 3 groups according to the degree of malignancy:
- typical (benign),
- atypical (semi-benign) and
- anaplastic (malignant).
After complete removal of benign meningiomas, the 5-, 10-, and 15-year recurrence-free survival is 93, 80, and 68%, respectively.

Examination by a neurosurgeon is a key step in determining an accurate diagnosis and planning treatment for diseases of the brain and nervous system.
A professional neurosurgeon uses modern methods: MRI, CT, PET and others, which allow you to obtain detailed information about the structure and functions of the brain. Cognitive functions are also assessed.
The main goal is to detect pathology in a timely manner and begin effective treatment. The success of the recovery and the patient's quality of life in the future depend on this.
Neurosurgery is a complex field where surgical intervention requires millimeter precision. Any imprecise movement can lead to serious neurological disorders.
That is why the neurosurgical operating room must be perfectly adapted to the needs of the procedure. It ensures absolute sterility and protection against infections during open intervention.
Modern equipment systems help the surgeon work as efficiently as possible and guarantee the highest level of safety for both the patient and the medical team.
