Skull Base - Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Perioptic Meningiomas

In this episode, we delve into the efficacy of single-fraction stereotactic radiosurgery for benign perioptic meningiomas. Based on a study published in the Journal of Korean Medical Science in 2026, this full-text analysis examines a decade of follow-up data to assess long-term tumor control and the incidence of radiation-induced optic neuropathy. The research retrospectively reviewed patients treated with this approach, highlighting its potential as a safe and effective strategy. We discuss the study's design, its key findings regarding tumor control rates and visual outcomes, and the crucial clinical implications for managing these challenging lesions.
