Prognostic role of extent of resection and adjuvant radiotherapy in de novo anaplastic meningiomas.

Purpose: Grade 3 meningiomas, although rare, are associated with high morbidity and mortality. The respective impacts of extent of surgical resection and adjuvant radiotherapy are still debated. Moreover, anaplastic meningiomas are studied in heterogenous cohort of de novo and progressive anaplastic tumors.

BRAF and MEK inhibitor targeted therapy in papillary craniopharyngiomas: a cohort study.

Objective: Targeted therapy (TT) with BRAF/MEK inhibitors has emerged as a potential treatment in papillary craniopharyngiomas (PCPs). However, standardized data on large cohorts are lacking. Our study aimed to assess real-life efficacy and safety of BRAF/MEK inhibition in patients with PCPs.

Descriptive epidemiology of 399 histologically confirmed newly diagnosed meningeal solitary fibrous tumours and haemangiopericytomas in France: 2006-2015.

Purpose: Meningeal solitary fibrous tumour (SFT) and haemangiopericytoma (HPC) are uncommon tumours that have been merged into a single entity in the last 2021 WHO Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System. To describe the epidemiology of SFT/HPC operated in France and, to assess their incidence.

Methods: We processed the French Brain Tumour Database (FBTDB) to conduct a nationwide population-based study of all histopathologically confirmed SFT/HPC between 2006 and 2015.

Adult transverse sinus capillary hemangioma: case report and review of the literature.

Background: Adult intracranial capillary hemangioma (ICH) is an extremely rare disease with very few cases reported in the literature. Natural history is poorly understood and therapeutic management has not been clearly defined.

Methods: Using PRISMA guidelines, we systematically reviewed all published adult cases of ICH, to which we added our own case.
