Neurosurgeons need to understand imaging for head and neck pathologies extending to the skull base and intracranial areas. This review covers inflammatory, neoplastic, and malignant conditions, focusing on anatomy and imaging techniques.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiology
  • Head and Neck Pathology

Background:

  • Many head and neck pathologies involve the skull base, extending into intracranial compartments.
  • Accurate imaging interpretation is crucial for neurosurgical management of these complex conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review imaging appearances of extracranial and intracranial pathologies along the skull base.
  • To highlight relevant anatomy, imaging protocols, and differentiating computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings.

Main Methods:

  • Review of inflammatory/acquired head and neck pathologies.
  • Analysis of neoplastic skull base lesions.
  • Evaluation of intracranial extension of head and neck malignancy.

Main Results:

  • Detailed discussion of anatomical considerations for skull base pathology.
  • Guidance on appropriate imaging protocols for CT and MRI.
  • Description of key differentiating imaging features for various pathologies.

Conclusions:

  • Comprehensive understanding of skull base imaging is essential for neurosurgeons.
  • CT and MRI are critical tools for diagnosing and characterizing head and neck pathologies with intracranial extension.
