title: [Metastatic skull base tumors (biology, clinical presentation and evaluation)].
abstract: Metastatic skull base tumors are rare and complicated lesions. They involve cranial nerves and craniobasal vascular structures causing multiform clinical presentation. Despite modern neurovisualization techniques, risk of preoperative diagnostic pitfall remains high. Final diagnosis and planning of further treatment are possible only after surgical removal of tumor with subsequent immunohistochemical verification.
