Background: Meningioma is the second most common central nervous system neoplasm in adults, usually benign that originally from arachnoid cap cells. Meningioma is categorized by WHO classification as benign (grade I), atypical (grade II), and anaplastic (grade III). Objectives: This study to know strong correlation between the image of intracranial meningioma aggressiveness and malignancy. Method: Restrivectively, forty-intracranial meningiomas of new cases who had undergone surgery from January 2014 to June 2015, preoperative MRI head examination and Anatomy Pathology at Dr. Soetomo Surabaya, observed signs of aggressiveness of meningioma and malignancy rate that analyzed by contingency coefficient and Spearman correlation coefficient. Results: Based on age 30-65 years; 82.5% of women and 17.5% of men was got a strong correlation between bone destruction (C = 0.533); weak association of intratumoral cystic changes (C = 0.230), hyperostosis (C = 0.327), vascular encasement (C = 0.327); a very weak correlation of extracranial tumor extension (C = 0.139), cerebral peritoneal edema (C = 0.104); with a malignant degree in meningioma. Conclusion: There was a strong correlation between bone destruction and malignancy rates in meningioma.Keywords

Background: Hydrocephalus is a complex neurological disorder that characterized by increased amounts of cerebrospinal fluid and enlargement of the cerebral ventricles also subarachnoid space. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the first choice to diagnose hydrocephalus with better anatomical features. Periventricular interstitial edema is an indication of the presence of hydrocephalus, while Magnification of the diameter in the nerve sheath is an indicator of increased intracranial pressure in humans and apes.
Objectives: To analyze the correlation between the periventricular thickness of edema and optic perineurium thickness in non-communicating hydrocephalus with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) examination.
Method: The cross-sectional study using secondary data obtained 29 samples that met the criteria from January 2014 to April 2015 which was chosen by consecutive and then analyzed.
Results: Twenty-nine samples consisted of: women 16 (55.2%) and men 13 (44.8%), age <10 months (13.8%), age 10-19 months (34.5%), age 20-29 months (34.5 %), age 30-39 months (6.9%), age ≥39 months (10.3%). The age range of patients between 7 months and 46 months with mean age 21.93 ± 11.35 months. The results of the measurements showed that there was a correlation between the periventricular thickness of edema and the thickness of the optic peri nervus.
Conclusion: There was a correlation between the periventricular thickness of edema and the thickness of the optic peri nervus. The thicker the periventricular edema, the thicker the optic peri nervus.
