Skull Base Tumors

Skull base tumors are abnormal growths that develop at the base of the skull, where the brain meets the spine. These tumors can affect important structures such as nerves, blood vessels, and the brain itself. They can be either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), and symptoms may include headaches, vision changes, or difficulties with balance and coordination. Diagnosis often involves imaging tests like MRI or CT scans, and treatment options may include surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy, depending on the tumor's type and location. Early detection and intervention are crucial for better outcomes.
