Management of Intraventricular Meningiomas

Michael A Bamimore et al. Neurosurg Clin N Am. 2023 Jul.

Abstract

Intraventricular meningiomas (IVM) are intracranial tumors that originate from collections of arachnoid cells within the choroid plexus. The incidence of meningiomas is estimated to be about 97.5 per 100,000 individuals in the United States with IVMs constituting 0.7% to 3%. Positive outcomes have been observed with surgical treatment of intraventricular meningiomas. This review explores elements of surgical care and management of patients with IVM, highlighting nuances in surgical approaches, their indications, and considerations.
