Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "World neurosurgery"
DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2020.10.153
Abstract: OBJECTIVE Convexity meningiomas are common tumors requiring treatment in neurofibromatosis type-2 (NF-2) patients. Although different therapeutic options are reasonably characterized in sporadic convexity meningioma, much less is known about these lesions in NF-2 patients, despite… read more here.
