Large medial sphenoid wing meningiomas: long-term outcome and correlation with tumor size after microsurgical treatment in 127 consecutive cases

Abstract

Tumor recurrence was the major risk in the long run, thus the initial surgery was extremely important and hence should be aggressive. The size of tumor affected the extent of tumor removal determining clinical outcomes including VA improvement and KPS score immediately after surgery; however, it was not correlated with long-term overall outcomes.
