Atlas of skull base CT and MRI anatomy provides an easy to access, quick reference for identifying important anatomic landmarks.Clinically oriented imaging approach focuses on diagnostic and prognostic features important in the evaluation of skull base abnormalities.More than 400 radiographs, color anatomical drawings, and color intraoperative photos elucidate the imaging appearances of a wide spectrum of disease affecting the skull base, as well as important anatomic variants and pathways of disease spread.Fundamentals of skull base imaging, including recent developments in diagnostic modalities.From the Anterior Cranial Fossa, Nasal Cavity, and Paranasal Sinuses - to the Petroclival and Lateral Skull Base, an overview and detailed analysis is provided for each region. The content is presented in a clear and concise fashion with chapters organized anatomically. Detecting and precisely mapping out the extent of disease is imperative for appropriate and optimal treatment planning and ultimately patient outcome.Įugene Yu and Reza Forghani have produced an exceptional, imaging-focused guide on various neoplastic diseases affecting the skull base, with contributions from a Who's Who of prominent radiologists, head and neck surgeons, neurosurgeons, and radiation oncologists.

Brain tumors such as pituitary tumors, acoustic neuromas, and meningiomas are challenging to treat due to their close proximity to cranial nerves and blood vessels in the brain, neck, and spinal cord. Skull base anatomy is extremely complex, with vital neurovascular structures passing through multiple channels and foramina.
