This systematic review examined cognitive impairments in adults with untreated meningiomas and gliomas, analyzing 70 studies involving 4,277 patients. The review found significant cognitive impairments across various domains, with memory and executive function deficits more common in gliomas, while meningiomas showed more executive and attentional impairments. The findings underscore the prevalence of cognitive issues in these patients.

Key findings

  • Cognitive impairments were prevalent across multiple domains in patients with meningiomas and gliomas.
  • Memory and executive impairments were more common in glioma patients.
  • Executive and attentional impairments predominated in meningioma patients.
  • The review included 70 studies with a total of 4,277 patients.

Why it matters

Understanding the cognitive impairments associated with meningiomas and gliomas is crucial for clinicians, as it can inform patient management and support strategies. Recognizing these impairments can lead to better care and improved quality of life for affected individuals.
