Cranio-facial approaches for tumours involving the anterior half of the skull base
Abstract
Teamwork between neurosurgeons and head and neck surgeons has increased the possibility of managing tumours involving the skull base. The authors distinguish the anterior half of the skull base into a median and two lateral portions and describe the surgical approaches utilized to expose it. The authors present their clinical experience in 27 patients with extensive lesions of the anterior half of the skull base and their results.
