Lindsey M Conley et al. Radiol Clin North Am. 2017 Jan.

Abstract

The skull base is a complex bony and soft tissue interface that is divided anatomically into compartments. This article will focus specifically on the central skull base, which has a complex embryologic development and anatomy. Multiple entities from notochord remnants, neoplasm, infection, and other abnormalities may occur, and imaging is critical for depicting skull base pathology.

Keywords: Central skull base; Skull base anatomy; Skull base pathology.
