Brief description/objective
Petroclival meningioma (PCM) remains a major neurosurgical challenge. There are still controversial strategic treatment concepts about surgical approach, the extent of resection, and postoperative radiotherapy. We aimed to evaluate prognostic factors influencing the progression-free survival (PFS) rates of PCM, with a particular focus on the retrosigmoidal approach, the role of the extent of resection, and postoperative radiotherapy.
