Abstract:
Objective To investigate the features of digital subtraction angiography(DSA) of meningioma and the application of therapy in preoperative embolization.Methods DSA in 36 cases with meningioma proved pathologically was performed.Of them,22 cases which the blood supply of tumor was mostly by external carotid artery were undergone external carotid artery embolization and surgical incision 3~10 days after embolization.Results Among 36 cases,the blood supply of tumor was only from external carotid artery in 9 cases,both of external and internal carotid artery supply in 25,and only internal carotid artery in 2.Among 22 cases undergone embolization of supplying artery the tumor stain absolutely disappeared in 16,evidently decreased in 6.22 cases undergone surgical incision after embolization,the tumors were wholly resected,average bleeding 150~500 ml during surgery.Conclusion The blood supply of meningioma can be only by external or internal carotid artery,or both.Preoperative cerebral angiographies and embolization are beneficial for the total resection of meningioma and reduction of bleeding during surery.
