Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Oncology
  • Radiology

Context:

  • Large intracranial tumors invading the skull base are rare.
  • This study focuses on a series of 22 patients treated between 1977 and 1966.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and surgical management of large skull base tumors.
  • To evaluate the outcomes, complications, and mortality associated with surgical intervention.

Summary:

  • The study details 22 patients (15 male, 7 female, mean age 34.78 years) with large intracranial tumors (>4.5 cm) invading the skull base.
  • Tumor locations included anterior and middle fossae, with significant extracranial extension into paranasal sinuses, orbits, and nasopharyngeal cavity.
  • Diagnostic methods included X-rays, CT, angiography, and MRI. Surgical approaches, histology, and postoperative complications were discussed.
