Article Synopsis
- This study focused on treating recurrent and progressive meningiomas using a combination of 3D-conformal radiotherapy and chemotherapy with hydroxyurea (HU).
- A total of 21 patients were treated, with 14 showing disease stabilization and three experiencing significant improvement in neurological symptoms.
- The treatment proved to be safe with minimal side effects, and results suggest further studies are needed to compare this approach with other treatment methods.
Computer-aided 3-D simulation and prediction of craniofacial surgery: a new approach.
J Craniomaxillofac Surg
June 2001
Background: In plastic and reconstructive craniofacial surgery, careful preoperative planning is essential. In complex cases of craniofacial synostosis, rapid prototyping models are used to simulate the surgery and reduce operating time. Recently, 3-D CT model surgery has been introduced for presurgical planning and prediction of the postoperative result.

To avoid plate removal, resorbable material with strength comparable to that of metallic plates and predictable resorption would be desirable. This should be accomplished without causing inflammatory complications and foreign body reactions often seen with highly crystalline poly-L-lactic acid or pure polyglycolic acid implants.

Patients And Methods: Between 1977 and 1996, 45 patients with astrocytoma, 14 with oligodendroglioma and 18 with mixed glioma received postoperative radiotherapy with a median total dose of 52 Gy (range, 45 to 61 Gy). Sixty-seven patients were treated immediately following surgery, 10 patients with tumor progression.
