[Abstract] Objective: To determine the vessels condition of the tumor-brain interface for tumor adhesion preoperative prediction, we evaluate the rim enhancement of meningiomas on contrast-enhanced T2 fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) in meningiomas and the associated pathological findings.Materials and Methods: 89 patients with meningiomas underwent tumor excision in our hospital from June 2017 to June 2018. All patients have been performed 3.0 T MR scans, including sagittal and cross-sectional T1WI, cross-sectional T2WI, T2 FLAIR, sagittal and cross-sectional enhanced T1WI, and finally T2 FLAIR.Results: All meningiomas in 89 cases showed significant enhancement on MRI. On enhanced T2 FLAIR, 54 cases (60.7%) of meningiomas showed rim enhancement, 25 cases (28.1%) of which were not seen on the plain T2 FLAIR sequence or the enhanced T1-weighted (T1WI) images. The surface of the meningiomas with positive signs had higher microvessel density pathologically, indicating pia supply. Rather than the data collecting from enhanced T1WI images, 52 cases showed meningeal tail sign, 35 cases (39.3%) of which showed greater disctinction in enhanced T2 FLAIR images.Conclusions: The rim enhancement of meningioma on T2 FLAIR suggest the possibility of pial blood supply, which means the meningioma are supplied by both intracranial and extracranial arteries. It also provides pathologically predictive information about the tumor-brain interface to guide tumor excision surgery plan.
