  • Title: [A case of asymptomatic meningioma at left frontal convexity: evaluation using of WAIS-R at preoperation and postoperation].
    Author: Mizushima M, Watanabe T.
    Journal: No To Shinkei; 2000 Apr; 52(4):335-40. PubMed ID: 10793422.
    Abstract:
    The authors reported a case of 39-year-old man with incidentally found meningioma whose postoperative WAIS-R scores were improved significantly. He got a minor head injury run in a car collision and showed no neurological findings on admission. Computed tomography revealed no traumatic abnormalities but left frontal convexity meningioma. Total removal of the tumor was performed 3 weeks after the admission. Preoperative verbal IQ, performance IQ, lower full IQ were 105, 95, 100 respectively, and improved to 113, 112, 114 postoperatively. An asymptomatic patient with incidentally found meningioma could have higher brain function disturbances, which could be improved after its resection, therefore we should operate on such a patient more positively.
