Treatment of optic nerve sheath meningioma

1, surgical treatment under normal circumstances, the optic nerve sheath meningioma easily be checked to spread to the brain can take tumor resection. Some cases, surgical treatment in patients with blindness, leading to eyelid dysfunction, but surviving in eye movement. Tried in the case of retention optic complete tumor resection is often impossible, the majority of patients after surgical treatment blindness occurs in the epidural tumor except. Some cases, the tumor grew in the perineural the subdural or subarachnoid gap, tumor rarely complete resection, but the subtotal. In some cases, especially with acute vision loss, some experts have proposed to cut the optic nerve sheath to relieve nerve pressure [3], we think that this method should be applied after fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy, otherwise improve vision is only temporary, The tumor may spread to the entire orbit. Third Affiliated Hospital of Henan College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the drug treatment so far, drug therapy have any effect on the optic nerve meningioma did not. Meningioma cells are able to express a variety of hormone receptors, the most common estrogen and progesterone receptors, it is expected to apply their antagonists to destroy the tumor or reduce its volume, but they are ineffective. Hydroxyurea treatment of intracranial meningiomas help, but we found that only patients with optic nerve sheath meningioma patients reported hydroxyurea improved visual acuity. 3, the radiation therapy radiation therapy for optic nerve sheath meningioma began simply as auxiliary method of surgical treatment. Smith et al reported that application of conventional fractionated radiation therapy to successfully treat patients, visual acuity improved in two patients, 3 patients with vision improvement, the two patients retinochoroidal short circuit vascular recovery. Subsequent Kennerdell six patients, application of radiotherapy, which confirmed the improvement of visual acuity, five patients with visual acuity improvement, a retinal blood flow in patients with stable supply. 3 ~ 7a subsequent follow-up no complications. Meningioma treatment, the Third Affiliated Hospital of Henan College of Traditional Chinese Medicine "anti-cancer detox therapy" is its development of a series of drugs on different tumor demonstrated differentiation. Will not only be able to overcome all the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy brought, but also to regulate the body's immune function, overall suppression and kill cancer cells directly, significantly inhibited the transfer and proliferation of cancer cells. Therefore, this therapy combined with other therapies, have an unexpected effect.
