The present study investigated the role of the Simpson grade system, MIB-1 immunohistochemical marker, meningioma location and grade in the risk of recurrence. Between January, 2008 and January, 2018, the present study retrospectively evaluated all patients undergoing craniotomy for the resection of a histopathologically confirmed meningioma. Patients with neurofibromatosis, acoustic neurinomas and radiation treatment prior to surgery were excluded.

First described by Huse et al. in 2013, these neoplasms are usually located within the deep cortical ribbon and the superficial white matter and have a characteristic cytoarchitecture of cells with neuronal and glial differentiation that form multiple nodules with conspicuous vacuolation.

Stereotactic radiosurgery has been investigated as potentially minimally invasive alternative to microsurgery. The aim of this study was to provide a systematic review and meta-analysis of the available literature regarding the outcomes of cases of JFS treated with radiosurgery.

- * A systematic review identified 18 relevant studies on ML applications in pTBI, with most focusing on predicting outcomes or the need for CT scans, primarily using models like Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Random Forest (RF).
- * Results showed high accuracy in ML algorithms for predicting CT scan needs (0.790 to 0.999) and patient outcomes, with the best performance from a support vector machine (SVM) for outcomes and a Deep ANN for CT scan needs.
