Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the causes of reoperative intracranial meningioma and the methods of reoperation.
Methods: The clinical data of 18 patients undergoing reoperation in intracranial meningiomas were analyzed retrospectively.
Results: In 18 patients,the complete resection was performed in 14 patients while the incomplete resection was performed in 4 patients.There were no perioperative and postoperative death.All patients were diagnosed with meningiomas by pathology.
Conclusions: The grade of resection is the significant factor related to reoperation of meningioma.The residual tumor reoperation rate after incompletely resection is high and necessitates the reoperation.
