Abstract
Basal meningiomas represent a rather heterogenous group. Postoperative mortality depends on location and size of the tumor; generally it is rather high. Relapses are frequent. Microsurgical techniques and the development of better methods for repair of skull base defects have allowed neurosurgical procedures to be more radical. Radical tumor removal, however, still remains a problem. It is obvious, that meningiomas with close topographical relationship to carotid arteries or cavernous sinus present special difficulties in treatment.
