Introduction and Aim: A benign tumor of the central nervous system known as a meningioma of the brain can be effectively treated surgically to assure complete patient recovery. The objective of this study was to investigate intracranial postoperative complications in meningiomas, identify factors that are prognostically significant, assess the results of surgical therapy, and provide rational solutions for difficulties associated with brain meningiomas.
Materials and Methods: The 202 observations of patients with supratentorial meningiomas who had surgery provided the basis for the current study. In the 20 patients who survived, we looked at a number of surgical problems. Clinical evaluation and instrumental diagnostic methods were used to confirm their nature.
Results: Most patients with basal located meningiomas experience surgical issues. Meningiomas were discovered to be basal in 12 (60.0%) of the survivors who encountered postoperative complications. Patients with postoperative complications from meningiomas frequently encountered many cumulative issues, with a death rate of 5 (2.5%) and one or occasionally two complications in survivors.
Conclusion: The growth of tumors, surgical trauma, and the body's general reaction to the removal of neoplasms all affect the body's activity at all levels (subcellular, cellular, organ, and systemic) in patients with supratentorial meningiomas, leading to postoperative complications
