Features: This book is a specialized work on meningiomas, covering epidemiology, anatomy, pathology, etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of meningiomas. It is detailed and up-to-date, summarizing the latest research findings in this field both domestically and internationally. Structurally, it is divided into general principles and specific discussions. The general principles provide a general description of meningiomas, while the specific discussions offer an in-depth analysis of the characteristics of meningiomas at different anatomical locations. The book is richly illustrated with numerous imaging materials and diagrams to facilitate reference for professionals at all levels. It also emphasizes the importance of comprehensive and personalized treatment, which is another distinctive feature of this book. Comprehensive treatment includes surgical treatment, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, gene therapy, and traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Personalized treatment involves the patient's overall factors, as well as the size, number, anatomical relationships of the tumor, and the resulting neurological damage. In particular, the latter two present many challenging issues for surgical treatment, such as the selection of surgical approaches, the management of infiltrated dural sinuses and skull, the repair of damaged cranial nerves, and the reconstruction of the skull base.
