This book, now in its second edition, continues to provide physicians with expert clinical guidance on the effective management of skull base tumors. Filled with visuals and supportive videos, it covers treatment, including adjuvant therapies, as well as reconstructive and rehabilitative techniques. With a comprehensive, yet concise approach, it emphasizes the multidisciplinary nature of managing these tumor patients.
