Parasagittal and falcine meningiomas pose significant challenges to surgical removal due to their close proximity to the superior sagittal sinus and venous structures, posing high complications. The study evaluated the effectiveness of a microsurgical approach in reducing complication rates and achieving good tumor control in parasagittal and falcine meningiomas. A study involving 20 patients with parasagittal and falcine meningiomas underwent surgery at Madurai Medical College between January 2023 and December 2023. Preoperative imaging and meticulous planning were used to preserve critical venous structures and maximize safe tumor resection. Outcomes were assessed on complete resection rates, postoperative complications, and overall survival. Complete resection was achieved in 75% of cases, with a postoperative morbidity rate of 25%. Patients with tumors involving the middle third of the superior sagittal sinus faced higher risks of postoperative complications, emphasizing the importance of precise surgical navigation. The study found that a microsurgical approach, coupled with comprehensive preoperative assessment, significantly improved patient outcomes, reducing complications and enhancing survival rates. The study emphasizes the significance of a multidisciplinary approach in managing parasagittal and falcine meningiomas, emphasizing the need for advanced imaging techniques and microsurgical planning.

Background: Falcine sinuses can remain persistent after birth, but they can also become recanalized in cases where venous sinuses are invaded by meningiomas.
Purpose: To explore the incidence and imaging features of persistent falcine sinuses in healthy individuals and recanalized falcine sinuses in parasagittal meningioma (PSM) patients on magnetic resonance venography (MRV).
Material And Methods: Radiologists evaluated imaging data of 168 healthy individuals and 168 PSM patients.

Article Synopsis
- Endovascular embolization is used as a supportive treatment for meningioma surgery, but evaluating its effectiveness is complicated because MRI scans are done before embolization and after the tumor is removed.
- Researchers conducted a study using preoperative MRI after embolization to better measure how effective the procedure was, grading the extent of tumor devascularization and analyzing differences based on tumor location and blood supply.
- The study found that the degree of devascularization correlated well with the volumetric extent of embolization, providing a clearer and more quantifiable way to assess the effectiveness of embolization before surgery.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between the location and size of meningiomas (a type of brain tumor) and their clinical and biological characteristics, noting that the anatomic origin can be difficult to determine in larger tumors.
- Researchers analyzed MRI scans and the World Health Organization (WHO) and molecularly Integrated Grades (IG) of meningiomas from adult patients to create a mapping atlas that correlates tumor location with grade.
- Results indicate that benign tumors tend to cluster around the midline anterior skull base, while malignant ones are more common in areas like the falcine/parasagittal region, suggesting that molecular classification may provide more specific insights than traditional grading.

Meningiomas typically manifest as benign, slow-growing, and well-defined tumors on a macroscopic level and are usually asymptomatic. However, the mass effect caused by large meningiomas may lead to various neurological symptoms, commonly headaches and visual problems. Radiological imaging can establish the diagnosis, and a biopsy can provide a definitive diagnosis.
