    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To explore an effective microsurgical approach to the treatment of cranionasal tumors. METHODS: A retrospective review of 18 micro-neurosurgical patients with cranionasal tumors (June 2005 to June 2007) was undertaken. RESULTS: All of the 18 patients were treated with subfrontal approaches in combination with transnasal endoscopy. Tumors were resected in the stage-one operations (14 were totally resected and 4 were subtotally resected). The anterior skull bases were reconstructed. Transient CSF rhinorrhea was found in two cases. All of the patients experienced good recoveries, with no operative death. The follow up after 5 to 29 months revealed that only four patients had tumor recurrence. Three patients lost in the follow up. CONCLUSION: Subfrontal microsurgical operation combined with transnasal endoscopy is an effective approach to the treatment of cranionasal tumors. It enables high total resection rate and has low complications.
