Abstract

The authors report a case of esthesioneuroblastoma with intracranial extension treated by craniofacial resection. The tumor was resected by transbasal approach and repaired the dural defect using pericranial flap. The defect of floor of anterior cranial fossa was repaired with splitted calvarium and pericranial flap. Otorhinolaryngologist removed the residual tumor mass located at paranasal sinuses using lateral rhinotomy. Using cranifacial resection, the authors could remove the mass completely. The patient was referred to hemato-oncologist for chemotherapy.
