Description
Summary:	The radiologist must have a thorough knowledge of the normal anatomy and the pathologic spectrum of the skull base to determine the extent of abnormality and to help plan the surgical approach. The authors describe and present examples of congenital, benign, and malignant lesions that affect this region, including cephalocele, fracture, fistula, juvenile angiofibroma, meningioma, chordoma, pituitary adenoma, chondrosarcoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and rhabdomyosarcoma. Metastatic, infectious, and other miscellaneous processes are also discussed. Imaging strategies with computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging to aid in the diagnosis are suggested.
