Malignant Lesion of the Central and Posterior Skull Base
Medical RadiologyHead and Neck Cancer Imaging(2020)
摘要
Evaluation of skull base lesions is challenging. On the one hand, the skull base is not directly accessible for clinical evaluation,
and an underlying lesion is suspected or can be only roughly outlined based on neurological deficits. On the other, cross-sectional
radiological studies are excellent in demonstrating a skull base lesion and its extent, but their evaluation is intimidating
to the majority of the radiologists. There are three main reasons for the intimidation of the radiologists: The anatomical
complexity of the skull base, the ability of normal anatomical structures to mimic pathology and the rarity of skull base
lesions preventing dedicated training throughout residency and even during fellowship. In addition, inappropriate choice of
an imaging study, imaging parameters and or sequences may amplify the insecurity of the radiologist.
