Late outcome of operations for supratentorial convexity meningiomas. Report on 207 cases.
Brief remarks on the immediate outcome of operations on 207 convexity meningiomas are followed by a fuller discussion of the late sequelae, the problem of recurrences and relevance of histology, and the persistence or de novo onset of epilepsy. While the immediate outcome is more than satisfactory, there is still room for improvement in the late outcome of surgical treatment for this category of intracranial tumor.
