Article Synopsis
- Meningiomas are usually benign but can require urgent treatment when they cause symptoms; a case of a giant, vascularized meningioma necessitated preoperative embolization to minimize surgical risks.
- A 24-year-old woman with severe visual issues and chronic headaches was diagnosed with a 97 mm meningioma, leading to successful embolization that occluded 75% of the supplying arteries before tumor removal.
- The study highlighted that preoperative embolization reduced blood loss during surgery, improved visualization of the tumor, and enhanced surgical outcomes, with a low recurrence rate of just 9% over a decade.
