Disregarding the widely used division of skull base into anterior and lateral, since the skull
base should be conceived as a single anatomic structure, it was to our convenience to group …

Background The optimal management of petroclival meningiomas (PCMs) continues to be
debated along with several controversies that persist. Methods A task force was created by …

Object The relentless natural progression of petroclival meningiomas mandates their
treatment. The management of these tumors, however, is challenging. Among the issues …

Object Because of their critical location adjacent to brain, cranial nerve, and vascular
structures, petroclival meningiomas remain a clinical challenge. The authors evaluated …

Object Petroclival meningiomas are notoriously difficult lesions to manage surgically, given
the critical neurovascular structures that are intimately associated with the tumors. In this …

Background Within the realm of neurosurgery, petroclival meningiomas are regarded as
probably the most difficult tumour to be treated by microsurgery. This is due to the not …

OBJECT Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has become a common treatment modality for
intracranial meningiomas. Skull base meningiomas greater than 8 cm 3 in volume have …

Object Petroclival meningiomas remain a formidable challenge for neurosurgeons because
of their location deep within the skull base and proximity to eloquent neurovascular …

OBJECTIVE Skull base meningiomas are surgically challenging tumors due to the intricate
skull base anatomy and the proximity of cranial nerves and critical cerebral vasculature …

Purpose Since the petroclival region is deep-seated with close neurovascular relationships,
the removal of petroclival tumors still represents a fascinating surgical challenge. Although …
