Abstract
Background: Intraventricular meningioma (IVM) is a rare subtype of intracranial meningioma, accounting for 9.8 to 14% of all intraventricular tumors. Currently, there is no clear consensus on which patients with IVM should receive conservative treatment, surgery, or stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). This research aims to analyze the outcomes, including survival and recurrence rates of patients who undergo SRS for IVM as a primary or adjuvant treatment.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted in Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and Embase till June 5th 2023. Screening and data extraction were performed by two independent authors. Random-effect meta-analysis was performed to determine the tumor control proportion of IVM cases treated with SRS. Individual patient data (IPD) meta-analysis was performed for the progression-free survival (PFS) of the patients in the follow-up time. All analyses were performed using the R programming language.
Results: Out of the overall 132 records, 14 were included in our study, of which only 7 had enough data for the meta-analysis. The tumor control proportion was 0.92 (95% CI, 0.69-0.98) in patients who underwent SRS for primary IVM. The overall tumor control in both primary and adjuvant cases was 0.87 (95% CI, 0.34-0.99). the heterogeneity was not significant in both meta-analyses (P = 0.73 and P = 0.92, respectively). Post-SRS perifocal edema occurred in 16 out of 71 cases (0.16; 95% CI, 0.03-0.56), with no significant heterogeneity (P = 0.32). IPD meta-analysis showed a PFS of 94.70% in a 2-year follow-up. Log-rank test showed better PFS in primary SRS compared to adjuvant SRS (P < 0.01).
Conclusions: According to this study, patients with IVM can achieve high rates of tumor control with a low risk of complications when treated with SRS, regardless of whether they have received prior treatment. Although SRS could be a promising first-line treatment option for asymptomatic IVM, its efficacy in symptomatic patients and its comparison with resection require further investigation.
期刊介绍：
The journal "Acta Neurochirurgica" publishes only original papers useful both to research and clinical work. Papers should deal with clinical neurosurgery - diagnosis and diagnostic techniques, operative surgery and results, postoperative treatment - or with research work in neuroscience if the underlying questions or the results are of neurosurgical interest. Reports on congresses are given in brief accounts. As official organ of the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies the journal publishes all announcements of the E.A.N.S. and reports on the activities of its member societies. Only contributions written in English will be accepted.
