Skull base tumors include a large variety of often complex diseases and tumors that occur in and around compartments of the skull base. The most common types of skull base tumors are squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma, but there are several other head and neck tumors included in this class of conditions that require advanced neurological care.
In addition to imaging studies, a thorough neurological exam to check vision, hearing, balance, coordination and reflexes is critical to making an accurate diagnosis.
