Abstract:
We present the case of a 58 year old lady with a large middle cranial fossa meningioma (5 cm × 4 cm in maximal dimensions) which has considerably regressed without any treatment during seven years of follow up. While the tumour had remained radiologically static for the first three years, scans from year five post-diagnosis onwards have shown shrinkage of the meningioma from a calculated volume of 36 cm3 to 11.2 cm3. There has been no intratumoral haemorrhage or infarction and no medication or exogenous hormonal effect that could account for this effect. We reviewed the literature and report that this is only the second ever case of spontaneous regression of meningioma.

Multiple Regression
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...
Correlation and Regression
Regression Analysis
In regression analysis, a regression equation is determined based on the line of best fit– a line that best fits the data points plotted in a graph. This line is also called the regression line. The algebraic equation for the regression line is called the regression equation. It is represented as:
Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...
