title: [Surgical approach to cranial base and craniofacial tumors].
abstract: Skull base tumour is rare and until recently was considered unresectable. The authors present a patient with skull base tumour of extra and intracranial compartment penetrating into parapharyngeal space and maxillary bone. Radiologic findings on CT, MRI, arteriography were studied. A surgical technique to expose the cranial base and intraoperative findings are described. Significant improvement occurred after incomplete tumour resection.
