Abstract
|
|
|
|
The method for adequate treatment of fibrous dysplasia is controversial and proposed methods range from conservative to radical surgical removal. For lesions involving the skull base, intracranial transfrontal approach has been reported by some authors. While effective in tumor removal, brain edema and olfactory nerve injury are inherent risks due to the necessity for retraction of the frontal lobe and dura during this approach. In order to reduce such complications, authors have partially removed a tumor involving the ethmoid and sphenoid sinus of a 52 year-old female via a frontonasal subcranial approach with satisfactory results.
