The life expectancy of patients after meningioma surgery is related to the nature of the meningioma, complications and other conditions and cannot be generalized. Most patients may be unaffected or less affected, while some may die within hours due to complications such as brain hemorrhage.
In the vast majority of cases meningiomas are benign, and if they are removed completely intraoperatively, the patient’s overall status is relatively good and his or her life expectancy may not be significantly affected.
If the meningioma is malignant, with late metastatic recurrence, etc., the patient may die months or years later. It is difficult to give a specific life expectancy due to large individual differences in patients.
In addition, under some special circumstances, such as bleeding, infection, infarction and other unexpected conditions during the process of surgery, patients may also die in a short time.
In conclusion, there are many factors affecting the life expectancy of meningioma patients, and it is recommended that patients seek timely medical treatment and active treatment to maximize the prognosis.
