Aunque los meningiomas son tumores generalmente benignos pueden asociarse a un edema perilesional intenso. En este trabajo sobre 29 meningiomas intracraneales consecutivos se realiza un análisis de correlación estadística entre el grado de edema peritumoral y diversos factores. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que únicamente el tamaño de la lesión tiene una significación estadística como factor influyente en la extensión del edema cerebral (p<0,05).
Meningiomas although generally benign tumors, can be associated with extensive peritumoral brain edema. In this paper we have analyzed the statistical relationship between peritumoral edema and several others factors in 29 cases of intracranial meningioma. The only stadistically positive correlation was found between the presence of perilesional edema and tumor size (p<0,05).
