title: Excision of a clival and upper cervical pheochromocytoma by an extended maxillotomy approach: a case report.
abstract: By use of an extended maxillotomy approach, greater surgical access is provided to the midline skull base in comparison with lateral approaches. We describe this technique used to debulk a tumor extending from the sphenoid sinus across the craniocervical junction to the second cervical vertebrae.
