[Comprehensive investigation on fifty meningiomas (author's transl)].

In order to increase the accuracy of preoperative "type-diagnosis" fifty meningiomas in various sites were investigated by brain-scan, and routine angiography. Some cases in addition had external carotid angiography and angioscintigraphy of the external and internal carotid. By tabulating the findings, it is possible in 90% of cases to provide a pre-operative "type-diagnosis" of meningioma. Details are given regarding the influence of the tumour site on the ability to demonstrate the tumour through branches of the external or internal carotid, as well as "filling defects" or isotope uptake in angioscintigraphy. The reasons are discussed for the lack of agreement about the size of the tumour, in angiogram and angioscintigram, as well as in the brain-scan, in 15 out of 34 meningiomas.

Extracranial metastases of anaplastic cerebral gliomas.

Seven cases are reported of anaplastic cerebral gliomas with metastases outside the neuraxis, seen among about 1500 gliomas. There were two children with anaplastic ependymomas, one adult with oligodendroglioma, and four young to middle-aged adults with astrocytomas grade III and IV. All patients had one or more craniotomies, and four had radiotherapy prior to the appearance of distant tumour deposits. The survival times ranged from 7 to 31 months in cases with gliomas grade II, and from 8 to 18 months with high grade astrocytomas. All seven tumours showed invasion of the meninges, ventricular walls, or both, and in four cases they transgressed the dura and surrounding bone or soft tissues. In six autopsy cases there was widespread dissemination of gliomas through the CSF pathways. Distant metastases involved regional or distant lymph nodes in six patients, the lungs in two, and the vertebrae, pleura, liver, or mediastinum in one patient each. The possible pathways for distant spread or intracranial gliomas and the factors which are considered responsible are briefly discussed.
