ABSTRACT
Objectives: Meningioma recurrence remains a significant issue. No study has described the relationship between the clinical features and prognosis of communicating meningioma that primarily originates from the olfactory groove. The aim of the study was to identify prognostic factors of communicating olfactory groove meningiomas that could be stratified according to their risk of recurrence.
Results: A Simpson grade one or two resection was achieved. Complications with cerebrospinal rhinorrhoea occurred in two patients: one required reoperation, and the other was managed successfully with external drainage of lumbar cistern. There were 5 known clinical recurrences within the median follow-up of more than 5 years. The median 5-year recurrence-free survival for patients was 88.4%. Factors such as gender, tumour size, T2 signal and the hyperostotic bone had no significant effect on recurrence-free survival. However, recurrence was activated by oedema range, hyperostosis, dural tail sign and tumor texture (p < 0.05). Interestingly, female patients with the disease were younger than males at diagnosis, and the difference was statistically significant (p = 0.013).
Conclusions: Based on these features of communicating olfactory groove meningiomas, different strategies may be adopted for the follow-up and subsequent treatment. Due to the relatively uncommon incidence, more investigations into the clinical behaviour of this entity are crucial.
Patients and Methods: A retrospective study of 43 patients harbouring olfactory groove meningiomas invading the ethmoid or nasal cavity was conducted at three medical centers from 2000 to 2010. The records were reviewed for clinical presentations, imaging studies, surgical observation, histological features and follow-up.
