Long-term Follow-up of Patients with Meningiomas Involving the Cavernous Sinus: Recurrence, Progression, and Quality of Life

Abstract

Surgery for meningiomas involving the cavernous sinus seems to provide excellent tumor control. Our experience suggests that for the majority of these tumors, complete tumor resection can be performed with acceptable risks of morbidity and mortality and seems to increase the duration of recurrence-free survival. The long-term quality of life of surviving patients is satisfactory, with the great majority of the patients being independent.
