Abstract
Meningiomas arise in various locations. Convexity tumors are relatively simple to remove. Skull base tumors and tumors adjacent to the major cerebral veins and venous sinuses can be very difficult to extirpate. Attempts at radical resection can lead to serious morbidity. The combination of bulk reduction using microsurgery followed by GKNS gives greatly improved survival and very low morbidity. With smaller tumors, GKNS may be used as the primary treatment. Increasing numbers of asymptomatic meningiomas are demonstrated either as an unexpected finding or as a residual or recurrent tumor after surgery. In all of these situations, GKNS gives a better result than observation or reoperation.
