Risk factors for motor decline following parasagittal and falx meningioma resection in the middle third by Chengxuan Guo, Yafei Xue, Yang Li, Qilong Tian, Yan Qu, Qing Cai

“…The predictors of postoperative motor decline were major venous involvement (p = 0.022), falx meningioma (p = 0.031), loss of the brain-tumor interface (p=0.033) and WHO grade II-III (p = 0.032).ConclusionsThe resection of parasagittal and falx meningiomas in the middle third carries a high rate of postoperative morbidity and deserves perioperative planning. Alternative surgical strategies, such as preserving the brain-tumor arachnoid interface and minority residual tumors, may prevent motor decline in a subset of high-risk patients.…”
