Osteoradionecrosis of the skull base
Journal of Neuro-Oncology, 2020Radiation therapy (RT) is often necessary for the treatment of head and neck cancers. Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is a rare, but potentially serious complication of RT. RT leads to the destruction of vasculature in radiated tissue causing hypoxia and tissue necrosis.

Our purpose was to discuss the optimal treatment and outcomes for patients with skull base chordomas.We reviewed the pertinent literature for this study.Skull base chordomas usually arise in the clivus and are rarely completely resectable. Therefore, most are treated with radiotherapy (RT).

Skull base hemangiopericytomas
Acta Neurologica Belgica, 2021To retrospectively evaluate the clinical outcome of six patients with skull base hemangiopericytomas (HPCs) and that of a cohort of 37 similar patients identified by a systematic review of the literature.The series constitutes of three men and three women with newly diagnosed skull base HPC who underwent multimodal treatment including surgery, external

The anatomy of the skull base is complex with multiple neurovascular structures in a small space. Understanding all of the intricate relationships begins with understanding the anatomy of the sphenoid bone. The cavernous sinus contains the carotid artery and some of its branches; cranial nerves III, IV, VI, and V1; and transmits venous blood from ...

Chordomas are rare, benign tumors of the nasopharynx. Because of their location at the skull base, removal of these tumors is usually subtotal. Described is the transcervical-transmandibular approach to the skull base which can be employed in removing these tumors.

The Laryngoscope, 1982
AbstractEarly experience with medium to large tumors of the temporal region has re‐emphasized the value of radiologic preoperative plotting of these space occupying lesions in the sagittal, coronal, and horizontal planes. Attention to probable pathology, neurovascular structures and patient's medical status has been important in determining ...

Skull-base imaging has been a key factor in the advancement of skull-base surgery. The analysis of MR imaging or CT of the skull base emphasizes important landmarks, which are key to surgical planning. Although the definitive diagnosis usually is done by biopsy, the radiologist can limit the list of possibilities of the identity of a skull base lesion.

Skull base chordomas are rare midline malignancies of clival origin that represent one of the most challenging skull base tumors to treat, given their location, invasiveness, potential extension around vital neurovascular structures, and high recurrence rate. Total tumor resection is the mainstay of treatment.

Plasmacytoma of the skull base
Clinical Radiology, 1971the authors describe a case of so-called solitary plasmacytoma of the skull base in a 19 year old male who presented initially with lymphadenopathy of the left side of the neck. This was subsequently followed by complaints of tinnitus and deafness in the left ear.
