OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this research was to summarize the clinical and prognostic features of cavernous sinus meningiomas (CSM), evaluate the treatment strategies and long-term prognosis of CSM, and improve the management of CSM and the treatment effect for patients.

METHODS: We retrospectively studied the data of 54 patients who received initial surgical resection and 45 patients who received initial gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS) for CSM at West China Hospital of Sichuan University from 2009 to 2021. Progression-free survival (PFS), Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS) scores and neurological function recovery were adopted to assess a comprehensive management strategy for CSM.

RESULTS: Gross total resection (GTR) was performed in 51.9 % of cases with 3.7 % surgical mortality. The average follow-up time was 48.7 months, with a progression rate of 29.3 %. The overall improvement rate for cranial nerve function deficits was 50.0 %. By survival analysis, the extent of resection and the histological grade were significantly related to the prognosis. The role of postoperative GKRS is uncertain. For patients who received initial GKRS, the progression rate was 17.8 %, and the overall improvement rate for cranial nerve function deficits was 61.1 %. Primary treatment with GKRS showed better long-term tumor control in patients with CSM (P = 0.046).

CONCLUSIONS: Maximum safe resection of CSM can improve the neurological function and quality of life of patients, but aggressive resection will cause high perioperative mortality and complication rates. For CSM patients who are suitable for initial gamma knife treatment, choosing GKRS can achieve better long-term tumor control and neurological outcomes.
