AB  - The  skull  base  consists  of  3  fossae  (anterior,  middle,  and  posterior)  (Figure  68–1).  Although  in  widespread  use,  the  term  skull  base  surgery  is  somewhat  of  a  misnomer.  Only  a  minority  of  these  procedures  are  undertaken  to  expose  lesions  actually  located  primarily  within  the  skull  base.  A  substantial  portion  of  the  procedures  are  conducted  to  expose  deep-seated  intracranial  lesions  situated  either  adjacent  to  the  brainstem  (eg,  midbrain,  pons,  or  medulla)  or  beneath  the  cerebral  cortex.  We  prefer  to  use  the  term  transbasal  surgery  for  intracranial  tumors.
