title: Management of anterior skull base tumors.
abstract: A team approach is necessary to remove tumors involving cranial and facial structures. The combined talents of the appropriate specialists have allowed aggressive and successful removal of large and complicated tumors. Vascular reconstruction, free vascularized pedicle grafts, transfacial exposure combined with classic neurosurgical exposure have provided a new era for successful surgery of the frontal fossa of the cranium.
