Abstract:
Objective To analyze the clinical diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of rhabdoid meningioma.Methods Two cases of rhabdoid meningioma treated in our department were analyzed retrospectively,and the relevant literatures were reviewed.Results Both of the two patients underwent complete meningioma removal under microscope(Simpson grade I)without postoperative radiotherapy or chemotherapy.The two patients were followed up for 2 months and 2 years.One patient experienced meningioma recurred 2 years after the operative,and died due to refusal of a second operation.The other patient died of systemic complications secondary to postoperative intracranial infection.Conclusion The preoperative diagnosis of rhabdoid meningioma can be difficult,and surgical meningioma removal remains the primary choice of treatment.The patients often experience meningioma recurrence shortly after the operation with poor prognosis.Early postoperative radiochemotherapy may prove beneficial in prolonging the survival of patients.
