Dr. Margalit NavoDeputy Head of the Neurosurgery Department
The Top Ihilov Clinic has extensive and successful experience in treating patients with meningiomas of various localizations. The most modern treatment methods are used here, such as stereotactic radiosurgery using the latest generation TrueBeam systems. These systems are equipped with the most advanced navigation, visualization, three-dimensional modeling, and respiratory control systems available today, making the radiation process completely safe and highly effective: in most cases, it is possible to eliminate the tumour in 1 session and without surgery.
For many years, medicine in Israel has been a leader in the field of quality diagnostics and successful treatment of head tumours, such as brain meningioma.
Meningioma is a relatively common tumour affecting the brain and spinal cord, usually benign. Very often, brain meningioma does not manifest itself and is diagnosed incidentally. There is also a malignant form of meningioma that progresses rapidly. Only in Israel is brain meningioma successfully treated thanks to the highest qualifications of doctors and modern equipment.

Brain Meningioma: Advanced Treatment in Israel
Top Ihilov is one of the most progressive and well-known Israeli clinics worldwide. This medical center has numerous specialized treatment departments, as well as its own research laboratory, where new therapy methods for various pathologies are developed, successfully applied by highly qualified doctors at the medical center and specialists worldwide. The center's capabilities allow doctors to easily manage many poorly diagnosed and difficult-to-treat diseases, including brain meningioma.
The choice of treatment strategy depends on many factors, including the location of the tumour, its type and size, as well as the symptoms exhibited by the meningioma and the patient's condition.
For small tumours with slow growth, specialists at the Top Ihilov medical center may recommend observation, as the removal of brain meningioma at this stage of its development is considered impractical. Nevertheless, such patients need to regularly visit a neurosurgeon and periodically undergo tomographic examinations.
Meningioma: surgical treatment in Israel. In cases where there are signs of tumour growth, surgical treatment is recommended – removal of meningioma in Israel, which can be performed either traditionally or using minimally invasive methods with endoscopic surgery techniques. Neurosurgeons at the Top Ihilov clinic prefer to perform the intervention using the latter method, as the latest endoscopic and laser equipment in Israel allows for complete removal of the meningioma with minimal damage to healthy brain tissue, as well as reducing the patient's hospital stay.
Inoperable meningioma: treatment in Israel. In cases where the location of the meningioma or the patient's condition does not allow for surgery, radiation therapy is used, during which a powerful beam of ionizing radiation is directed at the affected area of the brain. Targeted irradiation of the tumour area is made possible by the latest equipment – TrueBeam systems, equipped with a highly accurate navigation system that helps adapt to the shape and boundaries of the meningioma.

Meningioma: diagnosis in Israel
People suffering from brain meningioma may complain of headaches, weakness in the upper or lower limbs. In severe cases, complete or partial paralysis and loss of various types of sensitivity may occur. In the early stages of development, brain meningioma is rarely detected. The diagnosis of this disease in Israel is carried out according to a specific program.
First Day of Diagnosis
The leading oncologist at the Top Ihilov clinic examines the patient, learns about their condition, and inquires about the presence of comorbidities. At the end of the consultation, the doctor provides the patient with a list of necessary tests to undergo.
Second Day of Diagnosis
- MRI, CT – allow for precise determination of the tumour's location, shape, and size.
- PET-CT and the new diagnostic innovation PET-MRI are performed to achieve 100% detection of the tumour at early stages, determine its malignancy grade, and identify metastases – both distant and small.
Third Day of Diagnosis
The attending physician, along with a group of other specialists, reviews the results of the tests that the patient underwent the day before. As a result, the specialists collaboratively develop a plan for effective treatment of meningioma in Israel.
