What is Peritumoral T2/FLAIR Hyperintense MRI Findings of Meningiomas Are Not Necessarily Edema and May Persist Permanently: A Systematic Review about?

This systematic review investigates the prevalence and persistence of peritumoral T2/FLAIR hyperintensities in patients undergoing meningioma surgery, suggesting that these changes may often represent irreversible gliosis rather than edema. Out of 1714 articles screened, only seven met the inclusion criteria, revealing persistent edema rates between 39% and 83%, which were associated with lower rates of seizure resolution. The authors emphasize the need for further studies to explore the etiology and impact
