Abstract
We investigated the role of the tumor-brain interface in the production of peritumoral cerebral edema in meningiomas by analysing the size, shape, histological type and location of the tumor, and radiological and operative findings. Our results suggest that changes of the boundary zone between the tumor and the brain such as the disappearance of the subarachnoid space, cortical thinning or loss, and possibly partial loss of the arachnoid membrane are the most important factors in edema production, and that multiple other factors determine the morphological changes which occur at the tumor-brain interface.
