Not all tumors in the skull base are malignant. But even benign tumors can cause symptoms or threaten the health and well-being of the patient.

Because of their location and proximity to other vital structures, skull base tumors present unique challenges for surgeons. Recent advances in diagnostic and surgical techniques have made the area more accessible to surgery, providing new treatments for these patients.
