- Abstract:
- This case report demonstrates computer assisted resection of a skull base tumour after combined chemotherapy and irradiation, in a 40-year-old man with a squamous cell carcinoma of maxilla, zygoma, orbit and skull base. The resection of the skull base was performed with computer assistance after conventional resection of the maxilla, midface, exenteration of the orbit and lymph node dissection. Following combined chemotherapy and irradiation, the original, pretherapeutic tumour extent was marked on the new, presurgical CT scan enabling resection of the skull base with the use of a navigation microscope. Thus planned resection from the presurgical CT could be transposed intraoperatively using the navigation system, and the skull base could be resected with precision.
