1 Manejo do Meningioma que compromete o seio cavernoso: quando eu irradio Alessandra Gorgulho, MD, MSc Chefe Clínico-Científica Centro HCor de Neurociências Professora Visitante, Departamento de Neurocirurgia, UCLA Presidente Sociedade Brasileira de Radiocirurgia V Congresso Internacional de Neuro- Oncologia de Abril 2017, São Paulo

2 Meningiomas Most frequent primary CNS tumor (34%) Simpson Grade Grade I Complete with attached dura 9% Grade II Complete with 19% dural coagulation Grade III Partial resection Grade IV Biopsy 29% 40% Recurrence Rate of III and IV is high: 50-90%

3 SRS Simpson I

4 SKULL BASE Meningioma Location difficulty to achieve Simpson Grade I in skull base lesions. Simpson grade of resection is more important than location of the lesion. Keep in mind that SRS results DO NOT depend on the level of resectability of a skull base meningioma! Radiosurgery is a BETTER option for non-resectable small to medium size SKULL BASE meningiomas (i.e., WITHOUT mass effect)!

5 Sphenoid Wing Meningioma Treatment? Microsurgery or Radiosurgery

6 Sphenoid Wing Meningioma with Cavernous Sinus Invasion Treatment? Radiosurgery

7 Mass Effect! Treatment? Decompressive Microsurgery SRS or SRT to the residual

8 This is NOT Decompressive Microneurosurgery!

9 Cavernous Sinus Lesions When Histological confirmation is necessary? Mandatory to have histological diagnosis: Atypical presentation: pain, fever, rapid progression, malignancy elsewhere Atypical radiological findings: rapid progression, edema and necrosis Surgical Options: Foramen Ovale Needle Biopsy Endoscopic or Open Surgery Diagnosis obtained: 86% cases Sensitivity = 0.83 Specificity = 1

10 UCLA Grading System for Para-sellar and other locations Meningiomas* Grade I: Restricted to the cavernous sinus/parasellar region (<3cm) Grade II: Expansion to the clivus/petrous region Grade III: Compression of the optic structures (>3cm) Grade IV: Compression of the Brainstem Grade V: Bilateral involvement of the cavernous sinus Grade VI: Optic Sheath *Modified from De Salles et al 2001 Grade I: Tumors smaller than 3 cm in largest diameter (14 cc) in any locations Grade III: Tumors larger than 3 cm in largest diameter (14 cc) in any locations
