Abstract
Introduction: meningioma is the most common intracranial tumor. CT scan is a common method for diagnosis. WHO classified meningioma into 3 histological grades? This study aims to evaluate the relation of different meningioma signs on CT and tumor distribution regard to WHO histological types. Methods: In this single-center observational retrospective study, authors reviewed data of 75 meningioma patients confirmed by the WHO histological grades (WHO I/II/III) which were underwent CT scans from January 1, 2005 to December 30, 2019 at a teaching hospital, in XXXX. Data collected using patients medical records. Data were analyzed by SPSS 20 and P less than 0.05 was assumed as significant. Result: Our study confirmed that only edema (P = 0.005) and heterogeneity (P = 0.014) had a significant association with malignant histological types. Other signs were not statistically different among WHO histology types (p > 0.05). On the subject of tumor location, atypical/malignant meningioma was significantly more common in parasagittal (P = 0.031) and front-parietal (P = 0.035) regions. Discussion: meningiomas with Edema, heterogeneity on CT, and tumors located in parasagittal and frontoparietal regions are related to malignant histology and should be evaluated and treated more precisely.
