Résumé

Cavernous sinus meningiomas (CSM) pose one of the most difficult to treat subgroup of skull base meningiomas. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of an interdisciplinary treatment approach for symptomatic CSM which incorporated conservative function preserving microsurgery and routine adjuvant fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT). A homogenous group of patients with symptomatic primary CSM with extracavernous extension was treated between 2005 and 2012. All patients were available for a minimum follow-up of 5 years. Clinical follow-up included detailed examination of oculomotor deficits, visual status, and endocrinologic function. Radiologic follow-up was conducted by tumor volumetry. Overall, 23 patients were included in this study (78.3% women; median age 58 years). Diplopia was the most common presenting symptom, followed by headache and visual disturbances. Surgical morbidity was low (3/23; 13%). FSRT was applied after a median of 2 months after surgery. At a median clinical follow-up of 113 months, 70.45% of the presenting symptoms had improved, 25% remained unchanged, and in 2 cases (4.54%), worsening occurred. Overall tumor regression was evident in 19/21 World Health Organization 1 and in 1/2 of World Health Organization 2 CSM, respectively, at a median radiological follow-up of 103 months. Our findings demonstrate the efficacy of an interdisciplinary treatment approach for symptomatic primary CSM with extracavernous extension with decompression of neurovascular elements followed by FSRT. Precise preoperative planning and intraoperative decision making in combination with routine postoperative radiotherapy can achieve excellent tumor control, improve neurologic function, and minimize long-term morbidity.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES OBJECTIVE
Cavernous sinus meningiomas (CSM) pose one of the most difficult to treat subgroup of skull base meningiomas. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of an interdisciplinary treatment approach for symptomatic CSM which incorporated conservative function preserving microsurgery and routine adjuvant fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT).
METHODS METHODS
A homogenous group of patients with symptomatic primary CSM with extracavernous extension was treated between 2005 and 2012. All patients were available for a minimum follow-up of 5 years. Clinical follow-up included detailed examination of oculomotor deficits, visual status, and endocrinologic function. Radiologic follow-up was conducted by tumor volumetry.
RESULTS RESULTS
Overall, 23 patients were included in this study (78.3% women; median age 58 years). Diplopia was the most common presenting symptom, followed by headache and visual disturbances. Surgical morbidity was low (3/23; 13%). FSRT was applied after a median of 2 months after surgery. At a median clinical follow-up of 113 months, 70.45% of the presenting symptoms had improved, 25% remained unchanged, and in 2 cases (4.54%), worsening occurred. Overall tumor regression was evident in 19/21 World Health Organization 1 and in 1/2 of World Health Organization 2 CSM, respectively, at a median radiological follow-up of 103 months.
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
Our findings demonstrate the efficacy of an interdisciplinary treatment approach for symptomatic primary CSM with extracavernous extension with decompression of neurovascular elements followed by FSRT. Precise preoperative planning and intraoperative decision making in combination with routine postoperative radiotherapy can achieve excellent tumor control, improve neurologic function, and minimize long-term morbidity.
