Introduction: Fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) is used in the treatment of surgically inaccessible meningiomas, primarily in the base of the skull. Development of hypopituitarism following FSRT is inexhaustively investigated. We aimed to elucidate the cause of hypopituitarism in patients treated with FSRT for benign meningiomas of the anterior skull base.Methods: All patients undergoing FSRT for benign meningioma of the skull base between Ju...
