Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the clinical outcomes of treating atypical meningioma at the skull base region following surgical resection and adjuvant radiotherapy, and to analyze the association between clinical characteristics and progression free survival.Materials and methods: Twenty-eight patients with skull base atypical meningiomas underwent microsurgical resection between June 2001 and November 2009. The clinical characteristics of the patients and meningiomas, the extent of surgical resection, and complications after treatment were retrospectively analyzed.Results: Thirteen patients (46.4%) had disease recurrence or progression during follow up time. The median time to disease progression was 64 months. The extent of the surgical resection significantly impacted prognosis. Gross total resection (GTR) of the tumor improved progression free survival (PFS) compared to subtotal resection (STR, p = 0.011). An older patient age at diagnosis also resulted in a worse outcome (p = 0.024). An MIB-1 index
