The molecular pathology of primary skull base meningiomas is becoming clearer. However, by comparison, pONSMs and sONSMs have not been studied adequately with contemporary high-throughput molecular genetic techniques, which is the primary aim of this study. This is a crucial issue because these tumors may harbor distinct genetic alterations that render them susceptible to targeted therapy, allowing for vision preservation or even visual improvement.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 18 optic nerve
