Safe and Effective Treatment for Brain and Spinal Meningiomas
At Estexper Spine Center in Istanbul, we specialize in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of meningiomas, one of the most common types of brain and spinal cord tumors. Working in close collaboration with leading university hospitals, our neurosurgeons offer advanced, minimally invasive techniques to remove meningiomas safely while preserving brain function and quality of life.
Whether you’re seeking care for a newly diagnosed meningioma or need a second opinion, Estexper provides world-class neurosurgical care in a patient-centered, academic environment.
What is a Meningioma?
A meningioma is a typically benign tumor that arises from the meninges—the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord. These tumors grow slowly and may not cause symptoms initially, but depending on their location and size, they can eventually compress brain tissue, nerves, or blood vessels.
Meningiomas are more common in adults, especially women, and can be found incidentally during brain imaging or present with symptoms such as:
-
Headaches
-
Vision or hearing problems
-
Seizures
-
Weakness or numbness
-
Cognitive or personality changes
-
Balance or coordination issues
Diagnosis and Evaluation
At Estexper Spine Center, diagnosis begins with a thorough neurological examination and advanced imaging studies, including:
-
MRI with contrast – to define the tumor’s size and location
-
CT scans – to evaluate bone involvement
-
Biopsy or histopathological analysis, when needed
Each case is reviewed by a multidisciplinary team of neurosurgeons, neurologists, and radiologists to determine the safest and most effective course of action.
Surgical Treatment for Meningiomas
Surgical removal is the primary treatment for meningiomas that are symptomatic, growing, or located near critical structures. Our neurosurgeons perform:
-
Microsurgical resection using neuronavigation and high-resolution imaging
-
Minimally invasive techniques when appropriate
-
Spinal meningioma surgery with spinal cord decompression
-
Skull base surgery for deep-seated or complex tumors
The goal is to remove the tumor as completely as possible while minimizing neurological risk. In some cases, if full removal is not feasible, partial resection followed by radiation therapy may be recommended.
