Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical effects of communicating tumors on anterior skull base with neuroendoscope-assisted surgery. Methods Nineteen eases of crani-nosel and crani-orbital nosel communicating tumors underwent the combined craniofacial approach. The defect of anterior skull base was repaired with the compound flap with pedicel frontal galea muscle and temporalis myofascial flap.Results All 19 patients were successfully treated without CSF leak and cranial infection. The tumor total re-section rate was 78.9%, subtotal resection rate was 15.8% ,partial resection rate was 5.3%. Four patients of benign tumor were survival,15 patients of malignant tumor 2- year survival was 11, 3-year survival was 8,above 5- year survival was 6. Conclusion The neuroendoscope-assisted combined craniofacial approach can provide a relatively safe and effective resection for communicating tumors on anterior skull base,and has better clinicall value.
