Brain meningioma invading and destructing the skull boneVelnar, Tomaž (Avtor) Pregelj, Rado (Avtor) Limbaeck Stanic, Clara (Avtor) Background. Meningiomas are frequently encountered tumours. In those invading locally into the adjacent tissue, reconstructions may pose a problem. Case report. We report a case of a benign convexity brain meningioma with invasion into the skull bone and subcutaneous tissue. The tumour was removed completely, together with the infiltrated tissue and the defects were successfully closed with in vivo bone reconstruction. Conclusions. The reconstruction of the skull bone is sometimes needed after the benign meningioma excision. Artificial bone may be a suitable material, allowing fastintraoperative reconstruction with excellent brain protection andcosmetic effect during the one-stage procedure.Association of Radiology and Oncology20112024-03-19 13:11:51Neznano18475UDK: 616-006ISSN pri članku: 1318-2099DOI: 10.2478/v10019-011-0036-1COBISS_ID: 29636057Ljubljanaslby Authors
