Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2016
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 ...

The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 2001
Although lipomas are the most common benign tumours of the head and neck, the involvement of the skull base is rare and it is also very rare for a lipoma to undergo osseous metaplasia to become an ossifying lipoma or osteolipoma. We present a case of a solitary osteolipoma involving the skull base in a 17-year-old girl.

Chondrosarcoma of the Skull Base
Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1986Chondrosarcoma of the skull base is an uncommon neoplasm that comprises 0.15% of all intracranial tumors and 6% of skull base lesions. Compression of vital neurologic structures by tumor expansion as well as the histologic characteristics contribute to the malignant potential of these neoplasms.

Current Opinion in Otolaryngology & Head and Neck Surgery, 2003
Reconstruction of skull base defects following tumor resection is of paramount importance in avoiding serious and life-threatening complications. Cranial base surgery has evolved and outcomes have steadily improved as increasingly reliable reconstructive techniques have been adapted to repair the challenging wounds in this complex anatomic region.

Osteomyelitis of the Skull Base
Southern Medical Journal, 1989Osteomyelitis of the temporal bone often begins with minor trauma and results in a persistent external otitis. I report my experience with ten patients managed with combined medical and surgical therapy, and discuss the progression of the disease process and how it affects the duration of antibiotic therapy and the indications for planned surgical ...

Osteomyelitis of the base of the skull
The Laryngoscope, 1986AbstractInfection in the marrow of the temporal, occipital, and sphenoid bones is an uncommon, but increasing occurrence. It is usually secondary to infections beginning in the external auditory canal and is caused almost uniformly by the gram negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria.

Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2008
The authors present aspects of the skull base in trigonocephalic children. Different patterns on clinical anthropometric investigation, bidimensional computer tomography (CT) scan and three-dimensional (3D) CT scan were studied. We present a series of 27 cases of trigonocephaly operated on in the department of pediatric neurosurgery at the Hôpital des ...

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.

Journal of Neuro-Oncology, 2005
Metastasis to the skull-base particularly affects patients with carcinoma of the breast and prostate. Clinically, the key feature is progressive ipsilateral involvement of cranial nerves. Five syndromes have been described according to the metastatic site including the orbital, parasellar, middle-fossa, jugular foramen and occipital condyle syndromes ...

Chondrosarcoma at the Skull Base
Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 1981A rare case of chondrosarcoma at the skull base is presented. Computerized tomography scan was very helpful in delineating the exact extent of the tumor. Chondrosarcoma is a slow growing malignant tumor which metastasizes very late. Usually it is radioresistant, but when surgery is not feasible, irradiation treatment is worth a trial.
