Abstract
Although surgery remains the mainstay of treatment for most meningiomas, radiotherapy, specifically stereotactic radiosurgery, has become more commonplace as first-line therapy for select meningioma cases, particularly small meningiomas in challenging or high-risk anatomic locations. Radiosurgery for specific groups of meningiomas have been found to provide local control rates comparable to surgery alone. In this chapter stereotactic techniques for the treatment of meningiomas such as stereotactic radiosurgery by using Gamma knife or Linear Accelerator-based techniques (modified LINAC, Cyberknife, etc.) as well as stereotactically guided implantation or radioactive seeds for brachytherapy are introduced.
