Prognosis in meningioma through evaluation of skull bone patterns.
Sixty-three cases of meningioma were selected for study. Radiologically, they were divided into blastic and cystic groups. Tumors producing more blastic patterns infrequently recurred, unlike those that contained a lytic factor. The cases were also analyzed in regard to histologic type, but no relationship was found between histologic type and recurrence.
