Is meningioma serious?

The prognosis of meningioma depends on the nature of the tumor, growth site, degree of spinal cord compression, time and general condition of the patient. Generally speaking, the higher the segment where the tumor is located, the greater the extent of neurological impairment. The prognosis is relatively poor. * we should actively prevent muscle dysfunction, urinary retention and urinary tract infection.

Meningioma is a kind of benign spinal cord tumor, and the effect of surgical resection is good. In some patients, although transverse spinal cord injury has occurred, the function of spinal cord may still recover after tumor resection. Compared with intracranial meningiomas, spinal meningiomas have less bone destruction and lack of large venous sinus and arterial supply.

Epidural venous plexus is abundant in the ventral side and expands with the growth of the ventral meningioma. It is often difficult to stop bleeding of these vessels during operation. The dorsolateral spinal cord tumor can be removed by pulling the edge of dura far away from the spinal cord.

matters needing attention

During the operation, it should be noted that most of the meningiomas have a wide base closely connected with the dura mater. During the operation, it can be operated under the microscope. First, it can be stripped along the inner layer of the dura mater of the tumor base. If it is difficult, the attached dura mater can be completely removed to reduce bleeding and tumor recurrence.
