[Intracranial meningioma. New knowledge].
Meningiomas are classified according to WHO (1993), and include eleven subtypes of benign meningiomas, two semi-malignant and one anaplastic. In most cases meningiomas exhibit modifications or deletions in chromosome 22. Increasing knowledge of the natural history concerning growth rate and the treatment of incidental meningiomas is accumulating. Meningiomas formerly classified as surgically inaccessible are now often operable due to a continuing refinement of the surgical techniques and the study of possible new routes of intracranial tumour removal.
