According to the method of literature, the data of this group were also divided into falcotentorial (FT) meningiomas and VI meningiomas, and the differences between the two types of tumors were compared.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among the 21 cases of tumor, there were 12 cases of FT meningiomas, including 4 cases originating from cerebral falx, 4 cases from tentorium of cerebellum and 4 cases from straight sinus; there were 9 cases of VI meningiomas, 7 of which originated from the arachnoid sleeve of the Galen vein, 1 from the posterior part of the internal cerebral vein and 1 from the posterior surface of the pineal gland. Postoperative pathological examination showed meningiomas in all the 21 patients, including 16 cases of total resection and 5 cases of subtotal resection. Postoperatively limitation of binocular vertical motion was found in 3 cases, homotropic hemianopia in 7 cases, hemiplegia in 1 case and death in 1 case.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study suggests that pineal meningiomas are more suitable to be described by FT meningioma and meningiomas of the arachnoid of the pineal region by analyzing the origin of tumors. The term \u201cVI meningiomas\u201d can only reflect a part of meningiomas of the arachnoid of the pineal region. Before the removal of pineal meningiomas, more attention should be paid to the effects of the two types of tumors on the Galen vein and the straight sinus, and the establishment of venous collateral circulation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12883-020-01783-4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,20]],"date-time":"2020-05-20T05:03:51Z","timestamp":1589951031000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Reinvestigation of the origins of pineal meningiomas based on its related veins and arachnoid membranes"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Lei","family":"Yu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Berdimyrat","family":"Orazmyradov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Songtao","family":"Qi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ye","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1737-5816","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luxiong","family":"Fang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"1783_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"182","DOI":"10.3171\/2016.9.JNS16279","volume":"128","author":"K Yagmurlu","year":"2018","unstructured":"Yagmurlu K, Zaidi HA, Kalani M, Rhoton AL, Preul MC, Spetzler RF.
