Clinical value of microsurgery in the treatment of tentorial meningioma

Objective To study the clinical application value of microsurgery in treatment of tentorium meningioma.Methods 53 patients with tentorium meningioma were chosen,they all underwent microsurgical treatment,the extent of resection of the tentorium meningioma and treatment efficacy were observed.The mortality,causes of death of tentorium meningioma patients after microsurgery were analyzed.Spitzer index was compared before and after treatment,the life quality of the patients was evaluated.Results There was no death after microsurgical treatment.The tentorium meningioma tumor removal rate was huge tumor ＜ tumors ＜ medium-sized tumors ＜ small tumor.There were 9 cases excellent,14 cases good in Spitzer index before treatment,26 cases excellent,14 cases good after treatment,there was significant difference between them (x2 =19.15,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Microsurgical treatment for the patients with tentorium meningioma has better clinical efficacy and can greatly improve patients' quality of life,which is worthy of further clinical research and promotion.
