ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To explore the application of inner plate of frontal sinus-epidural approach in the treatment of anterior skull base cranio-nasal communication tumors.@*METHOD@#A study of 6 cranio-nasal communication tumor patients was undertaken. They were treated with lateral rhinotomy-inner plate of frontal sinus-epidural approach to remove tumor.@*RESULT@#The tumors in all the 6 patients were completely resected. The follow-up study during the following 2 years revealed that 5 patients had good facial appearances and showed no tumor recurrence, no cerebrospinal rhinorrhea, no meningoencephalocele, no frontal collapse, and other complications.@*CONCLUSION@#The surgical approach in the treatment of Cranio-nasal communication tumors needs to be chosen according to the tumor size, location and nature. Lateral rhinotomy-inner plate of frontal sinus-epidural approach can be carried out independently by the head and neck surgeons. It is a valuable surgical treatment with minimal invasion, short surgery time, little damage to brain, and easy pyrosis of skull base.
