Management of Medial Sphenoid Wing Meningioma Involving the Cavernous Sinus: A Single-Center Series of 105 Cases

SIMPLE SUMMARY: Medial sphenoid wing meningiomas are among the three most common intracranial meningiomas. They present a challenge to neurosurgeons, especially when they invade critical neurovascular structures and the cavernous sinus. This study was designed to evaluate prognostic features influen...

description SIMPLE SUMMARY: Medial sphenoid wing meningiomas are among the three most common intracranial meningiomas. They present a challenge to neurosurgeons, especially when they invade critical neurovascular structures and the cavernous sinus. This study was designed to evaluate prognostic features influencing recurrence and progression-free survival of medial sphenoid meningiomas invading the cavernous sinus, with a particular focus on the impact of surgery and postoperative radiotherapy. A retrospective analysis was conducted of the database of our institution. Included were 105 cases of medial sphenoid wing meningiomas with invasion of the cavernous sinus, of which 64 were treated by surgery alone and 41 were treated by surgery plus radiotherapy. Near-total resection did reduce the risk of tumor recurrence significantly compared to subtotal resection. Progression-free survival was also significantly prolonged after postoperative radiotherapy. In conclusion, we found that performing a maximal safe resection is the factor most strongly associated with a lower recurrence rate in patients with medial sphenoid meningioma infiltrating the cavernous sinus, and that postoperative stereotactic radiotherapy of the residual tumor also significantly prolongs PFS. ABSTRACT: Objective: Medial sphenoid wing meningiomas are among the three most common intracranial meningiomas. These tumors pose a challenge to neurosurgeons in terms of surgical treatment, as they may involve critical neurovascular structures and invade the cavernous sinus. In case of the latter, a complete resection may not be achievable. The purpose of this study was to investigate prognostic features affecting recurrence and progression-free survival (PFS) of medial sphenoid wing meningiomas involving the cavernous sinus, focusing on the contribution of surgery and postoperative radiotherapy. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted of the database of our institution, and 105 cases of medial sphenoid wing meningioma with invasion of the cavernous sinus, which were treated between 1998 and 2019, were included. Surgical treatment only was performed in 64 cases, and surgical treatment plus postoperative radiotherapy was performed in 41 cases. Kaplan–Meier analysis was conducted to estimate median survival and PFS rates, and Cox regression analysis was applied to determine significant factors that were associated with each therapeutic modality. Results: The risk of recurrence was significantly reduced after near-total resection (NTR) (p-value = 0.0011) compared to subtotal resection. Progression-free survival was also significantly prolonged after postoperative radiotherapy (p-value = 0.0002). Conclusions: Maximal safe resection and postoperative stereotactic radiotherapy significantly reduced the recurrence rate of medial sphenoid wing meningiomas with infiltration of the cavernous sinus.
