Multicenter StudyStereotactic radiosurgery for clinoid meningiomas: a multi-institutional study.
Resection of clinoid meningiomas can be associated with significant morbidity. Experience with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for clinoid meningiomas remains limited. We studied the safety and effectiveness of SRS for clinoid meningiomas. ⋯ SRS allows durable control of clinoid meningiomas and visual preservation in the majority of patients. Greater radiosurgical prescription dose is associated with better tumor control. Radiation dose to the optic apparatus of ≥ 10 Gy and visual impairment before the SRS increase risk of visual deterioration.
