Velocity and pattern of growth of intracranial meningiomas
A radiological risk assessment using two parameters-T2-weighted signal iso/hyperintensity and absence of calcifications-allows estimation of growth velocity and characteristics of untreated intracranial meningiomas. Only high-risk tumors exhibit the potential for rapid growth. However, rapid tumor growth does not indicate a higher CNS WHO grade per se.
