Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To observe the feasibility and effect of improved standard facial translocation approach in treating anterior-lateral benign tumor in middle cranial fossa base.
METHOD:We excised 10 cases of benign tumor originating from pharynx nasals of pterygopalatine fossa and expanding toward the cavernous sinus of middle cranial fossa, infratemporal fossa or pterygo-maxillary space. We ameliorated, facial incision, maxilla disassembled, reestablishment, fixation,maxillary mucosal option and remained lateral wall of nasal cavity to some extent.
RESULT:The mean time of following-up was 38 month postoperatively without complications of bleeding, infection and necrosis or prolapse of displacing bones. Nine patients were treated successfully, one died.
CONCLUSION:Reforming facial translocation approach in treating anterior-lateral benign tumor in middle cranial fossa base was safe and obtained ideal curative effect in near future.
