Objectives: As most of the gamma knife reports are related only to short- or mid-term results, we have evaluated the effectiveness and toxicity of radiosurgical treatment for benign skull base meningiomas in 200 patients with a follow-up of 5 to 12 years in order to define the role of gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS) for basal meningiomas and to provide further data for comparison with other treatment options.
