Abstract

Petroclival meningiomas (PCMs) are benign, slowly growing tumors. Surgery still remains the main treatment option for them. The desire for total resection of large extended PCMs often leads to the development or worsening of persistent neurological deficits. This paper presents a review of the world literature devoted to petroclival meningiomas. We discuss the issues of PCM classification, biology, diagnosis, and selection of the optimal algorithm for their treatment.
