Preoperative MR Imaging to Differentiate Chordoid Meningiomas from Other Meningioma Histologic Subtypes. | LitMetric

Background And Purpose: Chordoid meningiomas are uncommon WHO grade II primary intracranial neoplasms that possess unique chordoid histology and follow an aggressive clinical course. Our aim was to assess the utility of qualitative MR imaging features and quantitative apparent diffusion coefficient values as distinguishing preoperative MR imaging metrics to identify and differentiate chordoid histology from other meningioma histologic subtypes.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-one patients with meningiomas with chordoid histology, which included both chordoid meningiomas (>50% chordoid histology) and meningiomas with focal chordoid histology (<50% chordoid histology) with available preoperative MR imaging examinations, including diffusion-weighted imaging, were identified. Qualitative imaging features and quantitative ADC values were compared between meningiomas with chordoid histology and 42 nonchordoid meningiomas (29 WHO grade I, eleven WHO grade II, and 2 WHO grade III).

Results: The median ADC (10mm/s) of meningiomas with chordoid histology was significantly higher than nonchordoid meningiomas (1.16 versus 0.92, < .001), as was the median normalized ADC (1.60 versus 1.19, < .001). In subgroup analysis, the median and normalized ADC values of chordoid meningiomas ( = 11) were significantly higher than those in meningiomas with focal chordoid histology ( = 10, < .001 and < .001, respectively) or nonchordoid meningiomas ( = 42, < .001 and <0.001, respectively). Median and normalized ADC values were not significantly different between the meningiomas with focal chordoid histology and nonchordoid meningiomas ( = .816 and .301, respectively). Among the qualitative imaging features, only DWI signal intensity was significantly associated with meningiomas with chordoid histology diagnosis.

Conclusions: ADC values are higher in chordoid compared with nonchordoid meningiomas and may be used to discriminate the degree of chordoid histology in meningiomas. While qualitative MR imaging features do not strongly discriminate chordoid from nonchordoid meningiomas, DWI may allow preoperative identification of chordoid meningiomas.
