Meningioma

Meningiomas account for more than 25 percent of primary brain tumors. Meningiomas are usually slow-growing tumors that develop from the meninges, the protective linings of the brain and spinal cord. They may be found anywhere throughout the nervous system. Although almost always noncancerous (benign), meningiomas can be difficult to remove completely due to location. Cancerous (malignant) meningiomas occur less frequently.

Depending on the patient‘s specific diagnosis, possible treatment options could include Gamma Knife® Radiosurgery, endoscopic brain surgery, endoscopic endonasal skull-base surgery, neuroendoport surgery, neuroendovascular surgery, or traditional brain surgery approaches.
