Pre-operative and post-operative cognitive deficits in patients with supratentorial meningiomas

Highlights • Meningiomas, although extra-axial, cause cognitive deficits in 73.7% of patients. • Frontal and temporal meningiomas more often cause cognitive deficits. Memory, attention and executive functions were most commonly impaired. • Frontal meningiomas >35 cc and with peritumoral oedema &g...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Meningiomas, although extra-axial, cause cognitive deficits in 73.7% of patients. • Frontal and temporal meningiomas more often cause cognitive deficits. Memory, attention and executive functions were most commonly impaired. • Frontal meningiomas >35 cc and with peritumoral oedema >40 cc cause more cognitive deficits. • Meningiomas with elevated ICP cause significant cognitive deficits. • Excision of frontal and temporal meningiomas results in significant cognitive improvement.
