Abstract

Purpose: This sudy aims to evaluate the value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the prediction of histopathologic grade of meningiomas of  the cerebellopontine angle. Materials and method: The retrospective study was conducted on 46 patients with meningiomas of the cerebellopontine angle underwent MRI, surgery and had histopathologic report at the Viet Duc University Hospital from August 2019 to June  2020. On imaging, the signs of meningiomas and ADC were described, measured and compared with histopathologic reports. Results: restricted, heterogeneous enhancement, ill-defined, peritumoral edema, irregular tumor shape and invading adjacent structure were significantly correlated with histopathologic grade. The existence of these results improved the likelihood of 19; 10.8; 14.2; 14.2; 12.3 and 78-fold respectively. Grade I meningiomas showed higher ADC and rADC than those of non-grade I meningiomas. The rADC of over or at least 1,0 showed high predictation for grade 1 meningiomas.  Conclusion: The characteristics and ADC measurement on MRI showed significant role in predicting the grade of meningiomas at the cerebellopontine angle.
