## Abstract ## Objective/Hypothesis: Craniofacial resection (CFR) represents the traditional approach for resection of anterior skull base (ASB) malignancies. However, this past decade has witnessed the emergence of transnasal endoscopic ASB resection (TER) as a feasible alternative. The aim of th

Background. A consecutive series of 85 patients undergoing craniofacial resection for malignant tumors involving the anterior cranial base between 1974 and 1992 was reviewed. Results. There were two (2%) postoperative deaths. Postoperative complications occurred in 33 (39%) patients. Local major co
Background. Cavernous sinus involvement represents the most difficult problem in en bloc resection of malignant skull base tumors. We developed three types of surgical procedures for manipulating the cavernous sinus to achieve en bloc resection of these tumors. Methods. In a type 1 procedure, the c
The overall prognosis for patients with malignant gliomas remains poor. The infiltrative nature of the tumor into normal brain and the presence of tumor foci in regions remote from the main tumor burden make cure with current therapies virtually impossible. Management therefore consists of tumor con
