Meningioma attached intradurally and the site of cerebral compression
Meningiomas, as the name implies, are originated from the meninges, more specifically the meningothelial (arachnoidal) cells, and are most common benign intracranial tumor. They are benign tumors that can compress adjacent brain tissue, with frequently with defined borders, attached to the inner surface of the dura mater, and often enabling complete surgical removal, which offers the best chance for a cure. This picture shows the meningioma attached intradurally and the site of cerebral compression. The neurosurgeon opens the skull through a craniotomy to enable full access to the meningioma. The goal of surgery is to remove the meningioma completely, including the fibers that attach it to the coverings of the brain and bone. Although the goal of surgery is to remove the tumor, the first priority is to preserve or improve the patient's neurological functions.
What is the part of brain that effected from this tumor specifically
Anywhere there is meninges technically....my (thankfully) teeny mengioma is at the left trochlear groove☺😷
