    Abstract:
    The treatment of extensive cranial base tumor is still challenging. Wide resection of a cranial base tumor would lead to exposure of the vital structures such as the brain and dura, and would result in a large dead space in the cranium and in the connecting area between the nasal cavity and the intracranial space. Recently free tissue transfer has become a reliable method in the field of reconstructive surgery. In the craniofacial region, free tissue transfer is useful to reconstruct a complicated defect. We report two cases where free latissimus dorsi M-C flap and rectus abdominis M-C flap were useful in reconstructing the defect following removal of an anterior cranial base tumor. We discuss the advantages.
