Meningiomas >10 cc in volume appear to display a high rate of progression and subsequent need for surgery following GKRS. Primary surgical resection, when not contraindicated, may be considered with GKRS serving an adjuvant role, especially in tumours exceeding 14 cc in volume, and presenting with limb motor deficits. Long-term clinical and radiological follow-up is essential following GKRS as the response of large meningiomas may be unpredictable.
