“…In our series, CBT seems to be more common in females, the morbidity of which was seen in 59% of females and 41% of males, respectively. For four patients with bilateral or multiple lesions, three (75%) patients had familial history, which was in agreement with the literature (Tong 2012).…”

“…There are also reports of carotid and vertebral artery dissections leading to hypoglossal nerve injury. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] In a large case series of hypoglossal nerve palsies, the site of the lesion could not be localized in 6%. 9 In the radiologic diagnostic work-up, a segmental imaging approach is advised.…”

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:The hypoglossal nerve, providing motor innervation for the tongue, can be affected in many diseases of the neck and skull base, leading to dysarthria, dysphagia, and ultimately atrophy of the tongue. We determined the feasibility of direct visualization of the hypoglossal nerve in the neck with ultrasound, testing this technique on healthy volunteers and evaluating it in clinical practice.

“…Therefore, it was the most widely used method in our cases on account of its greater level of acceptance and lower cost. In addition to these, angiography was indicated for tumors that originated in vessels, and in certain patients where embolization needed to be performed, the angiography had to be carried out 2 or 3 days before surgery (18)(19)(20). All of these radiological studies supplied us with information about the vital vessels, the location of masses and the relationships among the various tissues nearby.…”

Abstract. The purpose of the present article was to describe the diagnostic evaluation of, and surgical approaches to, lateral skull base tumors (LSBTs). The study is a retrospective review of 21 patients diagnosed with tumors that involve lateral skull base (8 with malignant diseases and 13 with benign lesions) who were surgically treated during a 8-year period. The transparotid-transmandibular (38%) was the most commonly performed surgical procedure, followed by the transmandibular (24%), the transmaxillary (24%), the transcervical approach (10%) and the combined approach (4%). The surgical procedures were uneventful and there were no postoperative mortalities. Complications were encountered in 12 cases, and morbidity was not remarkable during the perioperative stages. After an average follow-up of 46 months, only 1 of 14 patients with benign diseases had a recurrence following the resection of a pleomorphic adenoma. Of 7 patients with malignant tumors, 5 are alive with no evidence of disease. The majority of the benign lateral skull base tumors can be removed surgically with a low rate of complications and recurrence. However, malignant neoplasms carry a poor prognosis and a low rate of disease-free survival.
