Somatostatin receptor subtype 2 upregulation is very common in meningiomas, and the use of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is recognized in recent European guidelines, with long-term stable disease and a long overall survival. Treatment efficacy of radionuclide treatments is correlated with tumour radiation absorbed dose. Meningioma patients with low tumour uptake might benefit less from treatment. Thus, a method to increase tumour uptake in these patients is needed. We describe a case treated with both intravenous and intra-arterial PRRT. Tumour uptake after intravenous PRRT was disappointing, and after intra-arterial administration significantly increased tumour uptake was seen. Patient had a partial response on imaging and reduction in tumour-related complaints. Potentially, intra-arterial administration of PRRT could increase treatment efficacy in meningioma patients.Level of Evidence 5 (case report).
