Standalone Meningioma Embolization: A Systematic Review
Standalone embolization potentially represents a lower-risk alternative for meningioma patients unsuitable for surgery or refractory to standard treatments. Although current evidence is limited and largely retrospective, reported outcomes support further prospective investigation. Mechanistically, ischemia-induced necrosis may be the underlying cause of tumor and symptom regression. Larger studies are needed to establish standalone embolization as a safe and effective meningioma treatment.
