The recurrence of intracranial meningiomas after surgical treatment.

TL;DR: A study of 114 surgically treated patients with intracranial meningiomas was carried out to evaluate factors influencing recurrence, and it was determined that 80% of the patients were free of recurrence 5 years after the initial surgery, and approximately 50% showed no recurrence 20 years afterThe initial surgery.

Meningioma: analysis of recurrence and progression following neurosurgical resection

TL;DR: The rates of survival, tumor recurrence, and tumor progression were analyzed in 225 patients with meningioma who underwent surgery as the only treatment modality between 1962 and 1980, and there was no difference in the recurrence/progression rates according to the patients' age or sex, or the duration of symptoms.

Meningioma grading: an analysis of histologic parameters.

TL;DR: Brain invasion and an increased mitotic index are the most powerful histologic factors prognostic for recurrence in meningiomas and an objective definition for atypicalMeningioma is proposed based on data.

Seemingly complete removal of histologically benign intracranial meningioma: late recurrence rate and factors predicting recurrence in 657 patients. A multivariate analysis.

TL;DR: Multivariate analysis showed that coagulation of the dural insertion, invasion of bone, and soft consistency of tumor were strong risk factors for recurrence in meningioma patients with high recurrence rates.

Atypical and anaplastic meningiomas: radiology, surgery, radiotherapy, and outcome.

TL;DR: Out of 936 primary intracranial meningiomas, 94.3% were histologically benign (grade I), 4.7% atypical (grade II), and 1.0% anaplastic (grade III); one recurrence was sarcomatous (grade IV).
