Description |
Management of tumors in the cranial base has been challenging for neuro-ophthalmologists, radiation oncologists, otolaryngologists and neurosurgeons for more than a century. Since tumors are located deep in the skull and can involve important visual and neurovascular structures, surgical treatment was associated with high morbidity and mortality. |
