Brain meningioma invading and destructing the skull bone : replacement of the missing bone in vivo
Tomaž Velnar, Rado Pregelj, Clara Limbaeck Stanic, 2011, original scientific article

Abstract: 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.

Genetic markers in oligodendroglial tumours
Tomaž Velnar, Uroš Smrdel, Mara Popović, Gorazd Bunc, 2010, review article

Abstract: Background. Oliogodendrogliomas are brain tumours composed of the cells resembling oligodendrocytes. They represent the third most common glial tumour, comprising 2.5% of all primary brain tumours and 5-20% of all gliomas. Conclusions. Oligodendroglial tumours with 1p and 19q loss demonstrate a better overall prognosis due to more indolent clinical behaviour and higher sensitivity to treatment. Additionally, 1p and 19q loss is a marker of clinical utility, helping to assess tumour sensitivity to chemotherapy and harbouring the potential for improving the diagnosis and survival of oligodendroglioma patients as well as future clinical practice.
