Abstract
Meningiomas are among the most common intracranial tumors in adults. The mainstay of treatment has been extirpation. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is an important option in the management of inaccessible, recurrent, or residual benign meningiomas. Image guidance and a steep dose fall off are critical features. SRS offers durable tumor control for grade I meningiomas with a low incidence of complications or neurologic deficits. Neurologic function is generally preserved or improved. Complications are relatively rare. For many, the risk to benefit ratio seems favorable compared with treatment alternatives. We present a short review of the literature on SRS for intracranial meningiomas.
