title: [Clinical experience of coronal flap approach in surgery of anterior skull base tumor].
abstract: Surgery of the anterior skull base tumor has been undertaken in 7 cases by coronal flap approach, of which 4 cases were malignant tumors and 3 cases were benign tumors. The dura became torn in 3 cases and resected in 2 cases due to tumor invasion. The dura and bony defects could be repaired with galea, pericranial flaps and fascia flaps of temporalis. The bigger bony defect was consolidated with scalp flap. Three out of 4 cases with malignant tumors were free of tumors for 6 years, 4 years and 17 months, respectively: 1 case died of tumor recurrence after 18 months. No case had postoperative complications.
