Résumé
Ninety five patients with intracranial meningioims were included in this study. Total surgical removal was done in 51 patients and partial removal was done in 44 oases. Postoperative radiotherapy was applied in 63 oases depending on the extent of surgery and/or histologioal findings. Objective complete response was achieved in 67/95 of the cases. The 5 year actuarial survival rate was 93.8% in -cases with limited disease treated by complete removal alone, 89.5% in malignant types treated by complete removal and postoperative radiotherapy and 87.5% in patients whose tumours were incompletely removed and treated by radiotherapy
