Managing [[petroclival meningioma]]s (PCMs) is challenging due to their deep-seated location and proximity to critical anatomical structures. Resection aimed at achieving [[gross total resection]] (GTR) has been the primary therapeutic approach for PCMs; however, GTR is associated with considerable complications.

A [[task force]] was created by the [[EANS]] [[skull base]] section along with its members and other renowned [[expert]]s in the field to generate [[recommendation]]s for the [[management]] of these tumors. To achieve this, the task force reviewed in detail the [[literature]] in this field and had formal [[discussion]]s within the group.

The constituted task force dealt with the existing [[definition]]s and [[classification]]s, pre-operative radiological investigations, management of small and asymptomatic PCMs, radiosurgery, optimal surgical strategies, multimodal treatment, decision-making, and patient's counselling.

This article represents the consensually derived opinion of the task force with respect to the management of PCMs
