The ocurrence of complications after brain tumor surgery often lead to death. To decrease the incidence of complications, it is desirable to identify patients at risk as early as possible prior to surgery. It can be achieved by determining preoperatively those factors known to be of prognostic relevance in the development of such postoperative complications. The prognostic factors may be differ considerably depending on the population studied but the homogeneous population studied in this analysis may help to contribute to the reference guide in identifying those factors. Authors have retrospectively analysed the major complications developed after performing on 150 brain tumor surgeries during last five years to identify the prognostic factors.

2.Seizure-susceptible brain regions in patients with low-grade gliomas.
Journal of Central South University(Medical Sciences) 2018;43(4):342-344
Patients afflicted with low-grade glioma frequently suffer from seizures. The mechanisms for seizure initiation in these patients remain poorly understood. Tumor location is correlated with seizure initiation. However, these correlative studies rely on dichotomized data analysis which is based on arbitrary lobe assignments. As a result, the lesion-symptom correlation may be incorrectly interpreted. Categorizing patients according to tumor involvement in a single brain lobe might cause the neglect of important information, such as lesion location and lesion volume. Tumors that invaded more than one brain lobe may could be counted repeatedly. The anatomic correlation of the tumor-induced seizures is therefore difficult to be identified. Investigations based on voxel-wise quantitative lesion analysis could avoid the above statistical bias. According to the voxel-wise analysis, the increased seizure risks were identified for patients with low-grade gliomas that involved the left premotor area.

The increasing number of long-term survivors of pediatric brain tumors requires us to incorporate the most recent knowledge derived from cognitive neuroscience into their oncological treatment. As the lesion itself, as well as each treatment, can cause specific neural damage, the long-term neurocognitive outcomes are highly complex and challenging to assess. The number of neurocognitive studies in this population grows exponentially worldwide, motivating modern neuroscience to provide guidance in follow-up before, during and after treatment. In this review, we provide an overview of structural and functional brain connectomes and their role in the neuropsychological outcomes of specific brain tumor types. Based on this information, we propose a theoretical neuroscientific framework to apply appropriate neuropsychological and imaging follow-up for future clinical care and rehabilitation trials.

Malignant meningiomas are uncommon intracranial tumors. The metastasis of malignant meningiomas to distant extracranial sites are well known. However, dissemination of the tumours in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is rare and few cases have been reported. We present a case of histologically proven malignant meningioma with CSF dissemination at the remote intracranial area and into the spinal canal detected with magnetic resonance imaging.

10."High Pressure" Cerebrospinal Fluid Rhinorrhea due to Parieto-Occipital Meningioma, a Case Report.

Yonsei Medical Journal 1977;18(2):160-165
A case of non-traumatic "high pressure" cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea is reported. There was a huge fibroblastic meningioma in the left parieto-occipital region along with hydrocephalus. Initially a ventriculoperitoneal shunt was done and then 12 days later the tumor mass was removed totally. After the operations the patient became free of leakage and a direct approach for the cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea was not needed.
