How They Are Diagnosed

Diagnosis relies on high-resolution MRI and detailed CT scans to evaluate the precise relationship between the tumor and surrounding nerves and vital blood vessels.

How Surgery Is Performed

Skull base tumor surgery requires meticulous planning and advanced techniques to safely access and remove the tumor while safeguarding adjacent critical nerves and vascular structures.

Recovery Period and Risks

Recovery and potential risks depend on the tumor's size and location, and are discussed in detail with the patient prior to surgery.
