Cranial Base surgery is a modern comprehensive description of diagnosis, management, and outcomes of all lesions affecting the skull base. It is a new definitive reference book for the specialist in skull base surgery.

Divided into sections, the coverage includes anatomy, imaging, surgical approaches to the cranial base, pathological conditions of the cranial base, tumors, vascular conditions, non-tumorous lesions, and adjunctive therapy for cranial base tumors.

Skull base surgery by definition is a team often made up of the maxillofacial, otologic, and neurosurgical specialists.
