The skull base is the bottom part of the skull that separates the brain from the structures of the face and neck.
It is a complex and intricate anatomical area, composed of several bones, including the frontal, sphenoid, temporal, occipital, and ethmoid bones.
These bones are interconnected, forming a platform that supports the brain and houses critical openings for nerves and blood vessels.
The skull base is divided into three regions: the anterior cranial fossa, which holds the frontal lobes of the brain;
the middle cranial fossa, which accommodates the temporal lobes; and the posterior cranial fossa, which contains the cerebellum and brainstem.
This region plays a vital role in neurological and vascular functions, as it allows the passage of major nerves, such as the cranial nerves, and blood vessels, including the carotid arteries and jugular veins.
Conditions affecting the skull base, such as tumors, fractures, or infections, can significantly impact brain and sensory functions, requiring specialized surgical approaches to treat.
Skull base surgery often involves a multidisciplinary team using advanced techniques to access this delicate and essential area safely.
