Do meningiomas have a high recurrence rate after surgery?

The postoperative recurrence rate of meningioma is related to the size and location of meningioma as well as the grading of surgical resection. The recurrence rate of convex meningioma with total resection and meningectomy is very low; the recurrence rate of meningioma at the base of the skull is high. Meningiomas are common benign intracranial tumors, which usually grow in semicircular shape, close to the meninges, and generally grow slowly, and the meningeal tail sign can be seen on imaging, and the cause of the disease is mostly related to genetic variations. Meningiomas have no obvious symptoms in the early stage and are mostly found during physical examination. When the meningioma shows symptoms, it is mostly due to the increase of tumor size and compression of brain nerves, which usually manifests as headache, vomiting, epilepsy, and compression of optic nerve can also cause blurred vision or visual field defect. The treatment of meningioma is usually surgery, early detection of surgery and complete resection, the surgical effect is better, but the recurrence rate is higher. If you have any related problems, it is recommended to visit the neurosurgery office as soon as possible for early detection and treatment to avoid delay.
