Multidisciplinary approach to anaplastic and metastatic meningioma: A case report and review of the literature.

Due to a lack of consensus on how to treat a metastatic malignant meningioma, this pathology requires a multidisciplinary approach, and treatment needs to be adapted to each particular case. Complete resection of the lesion is the primary goal, and this requires complex procedures involving endocranial as well as extracranial surgeries, which result in composite defects difficult to resolve. Microvascular free flaps are considered the gold standard in reconstructions of large skull base defects, with high success rates and few complications.
