Imaging in Endoscopic Cranial Skull Base and Pituitary Surgery - 27/11/15

Résumé |
Endoscopic endonasal approaches have widely accepted techniques for managing benign and malignant processes along the entire ventral skull base with similar or better results compared with open procedures, but with lower rates of complication. Managing pathology affecting the skull base can be challenging because of complex anatomy and the proximity of critical neurovascular structures. Postoperative imaging can be challenging, because of surgical alterations of normal anatomy and the now common use of complex reconstruction techniques. Understanding the normal imaging appearance of skull base reconstruction is important for accurate postoperative interpretation and delineation between normal reconstructive tissue and recurrent neoplasm.
