Note (General)Objective: Preoperative embolization of meningiomas induces necrosis prior to surgery and facilitates resection. Lack of contrast enhancement on postembolization MRI correlates with pathological findings of necrosis and can be used to assess embolization efficacy. This study aimed to examine clinicopathologic factors associated with tumor necrosis after embolization.
Methods: A total of 119 patients with intracranial meningioma who underwent 145 surgical resections between 2010 and 2019 at our institute were reviewed. Inclusion criteria for the study were preoperative embolization with trisacryl gelatin microspheres (Embosphere) or absorbable gelatine sponge (Gelfoam). Postembolization Gd-enhanced T1-weighted and angiographic imaging, and histopathologic examination results were reviewed to evaluate the effectiveness of embolization.
Results: In all, 66 patients satisfied the inclusion criteria. In total, 36 patients were embolized with Embosphere and 30 patients were embolized with Gelfoam. Patients embolized with Embosphere had a significantly higher necrosis rate (NR) than patients with Gelfoam (21% vs. 7.1%, P <0.01). The 36 Embosphere patients were analyzed regarding clinicopathologic factors associated with NR. Tumors in 12 patients were located in the parasagittal/falx region; these patients had a significantly lower NR compared with tumors in other locations (10.6% vs. 26.2%, P = 0.016). In all, 13 patients had feeders arising from only the middle meningeal artery (MMA), which was associated with a significantly higher NR (29.3% vs. 14.4%, P = 0.015). In total, 11 patients had meningeal feeders arising from internal carotid artery (ICA), which was associated with a significantly lower NR (9.0% vs. 26.3%, P <0.01).
Conclusion: This study showed embolization agent, tumor location, and blood supply were important factors predicting necrosis after preoperative embolization.
