Description: "The diagnosis and treatment of the diseases of the skull base have changed dramatically in the past few years, transforming the fields of neurosurgery and otolaryngology-head and neck surgery. The increasing advances in these fields have addressed the ENT physicians and neurosurgeons to keep up with the expanding information in the exciting area of skull base. By publishing this book, we are presenting a multidisciplinary approach to the lesions of the skull base. We bring chapters written by the most experienced groups around the world with both, basic information and the latest advances in macro and surgical anatomy, radiology, anesthesia, endocrinology, and all modalities of transnasal endoscopic assisted surgical approaches to the anterior, middle, posterior, zygomatic and infra temporal fossae. In addition, the extended approaches such as to the craniocervical junction and petrous apex are also addressed. Especial emphasis is also given to the reconstruction techniques"--Provided by publisher.
