Parasagittal meningiomas constitute 21-31% of all intracranial meningiomas. Parasagittal meningiomas tend to occur where
arachnoid granulations are more dense, and approximately 15% of tumors present with superior sagittal sinus (SSS) invasion.
SSS infiltration is the main factor for recurrence of parasagittal meningiomas and is one of the important factors determining the
strategy in the treatment of these lesions. The treatment of parasagittal meningiomas is changing from radical tumor resection and
sinus reconstruction surgery to safe subtotal resection and adjuvant treatment approaches. With this change, there has been a
decrease in mortality and morbidity related to surgery. The trend towards radiosurgery is becoming more widespread, developing
and contributing to the treatment of patients. It is necessary to follow up randomized studies examining the long-term results of
adjuvant treatments.
