title: Olfactory neuroblastoma - our experience.
abstract: The authors present six cases of olfactory neuroblastoma with or without intracranial extension operated on by the team headed by Otolaryngologists and Neurosurgeons. Data was analysed with respect lo age group, sex, presenting symptoms and signs, stage, and results of combined modality of treatment. The author's experience suggests excellent local control can be achieved by combined craniofacial resection followed by radiation therapy. Hence the authors recommend planned combined radical treatment for all the resectable lesions and routine use of nasal endoscope along with other conventional methods for compehensive follow-up of all cases.
