For many years, radical surgery was considered the only effective method for treating meningiomas, including parasagittal meningiomas (PSM). However, accumulated experience makes it evident that extensive resections in the parasagittal region lead to impaired venous outflow and involve high rates of disability and mortality. In recent decades, stereotactic radiotherapy has been developed and widely implemented in practical neurosurgery, its role in the treatment of PSM patients is discussed in this work. Material and methods. A sample of publications in the PubMed search system was taken using the following keywords: meningioma, parasagittal, superior sagittal sinus, stereotactic radiosurgery, stereotactic radiation therapy. No publications of evidence levels 1 and 2 have been found. Out of 123 works, 32 most relevant were selected. Results and discussion. Currently, both neurosurgeons and radiologists are involved in the treatment of PSM. An analytical review of the literature on the treatment of PSM is presented. Both surgical treatment and radiation therapy have their pros and cons. No general approach to the treatment of these tumours has been developed to date. A comprehensive treatment is considered to be effective — the maximum possible removal of the tumor without damaging functionally significant structures, including venous outflow pathways, followed by radiotherapy for tumor residues. Conclusion. In the existing literature, it was not possible to identify a single decision-making algorithm for the tactics of multimodality therapy for PSM patients, including the one for manipulations on the superior sagittal sinus and with regard to the role of ir irradiation radiation methods.
