Atypical meningioma is an intermediate grade tumour with a greater risk of recurrence following surgical resection. Changes to the WHO classification have resulted in an increased reporting of these tumours. The role of early adjuvant radiotherapy after gross total resection has not been clearly defined and the literature evidence is of poor quality providing conflicting information. This review assesses the evidence for current clinical practice, management dilemmas and the need for prospective clinical trials for atypical meningioma.

D008579 Meningioma A relatively common neoplasm of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that arises from arachnoidal cells. The majority are well differentiated vascular tumors which grow slowly and have a low potential to be invasive, although malignant subtypes occur. Meningiomas have a predilection to arise from the parasagittal region, cerebral convexity, sphenoidal ridge, olfactory groove, and SPINAL CANAL.
