Tumors of different position were resected by variant transcranial base approaches and the operative methods.Resultsand complications were analyzed retrospectively.ResultsTotal removal of Simpson's 1 to 2 grade was performed in 63 patients, subtotal removal in 31 and partial removal in 9. Good postoperative recovery was noted in 75 patients, skull nerve paralysis in 24 and death 4.ConclusionUsing skull base microsurgery to resect cranial base meningiomas could shorten the distance of surgical approach and lessen the damage to brain.
