Today, meningiomas with primary or, more commonly, secondary involvement of the cavernous sinus remain a surgical challenge. Anatomic research on cadaver specimens, together with the advances made in cranial base and microvascular surgery over the past 2 decades, have made it possible to completely resect lesions within the cavernous sinus. However, the technical complexity of some procedures, coupled with the current availability of less-invasive therapeutic options, makes the rate of complications related to surgical extirpation of intracavernous meningiomas unacceptably high, especially regarding permanent neurological morbidity and mortality. Currently, indications, timing, and multimodal treatments with surgery and radiotherapy represent the main topics of discussion concerning these lesions.
