ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The management of incidentally discovered meningioma remains controversial. We sought to compare outcomes following surgical resection of incidental meningioma to a matched cohort of symptomatic meningiomas.METHODS:
A retrospective single-center case-control study was conducted for patients undergoing resection of incidental meningioma from 2000 to 2019. A 11 case-control matching for incidental and symptomatic meningioma was performed using the following variables age at initial visit, gender, tumor location/size, and presence of peritumoral edema. Primary outcomes included (1) WHO grading/histopathological subtype/MIB-1 index, (2) extent of resection (gross total resection or subtotal resection), and (3) recurrence. Outcomes were compared between groups using descriptive/bivariate analyses.RESULTS:
A total of 91 incidental meningiomas were analyzed. Trauma was the most common reason (n = 19, 21%) to obtain imaging, and tumor size the leading reason to operate (n = 37, 41%). Median time-to-surgery from initial clinical encounter was 5-months (Q13, Q316.5). More incidental meningioma patients (n = 47, 52%) were privately insured compared to their matched symptomatic cohort (n = 30, 33%) (P = 0.006). Patients with incidental meningioma had significantly higher mean Karnofsky Performance Scale at time-of-surgery (93.2, SD11.1 vs. 81.4, SD12.7) (P < 0.001). There were no significant differences in primary/secondary outcomes between the groups. Incidental meningioma was not associated with recurrence on Cox proportional hazards analysis (HR 0.795, 95%CI 0.3-2.1, P = 0.637).CONCLUSION:
Matched case-control analysis demonstrated no significant differences in clinical, histopathological, and functional outcomes following resection of incidental and symptomatic meningioma. While non-operative management with close follow-up and serial imaging is preferred for incidental meningiomas, those undergoing resection when indicated can anticipate similar safety and efficacy as symptomatic meningiomas.Palavras-chave
