To observe the feasibility and effect of improved standard facial translocation approach in treating anterior-lateral benign tumor in middle cranial fossa base.
We excised 10 cases of benign tumor originating from pharynx nasals of pterygopalatine fossa and expanding toward the cavernous sinus of middle cranial fossa, infratemporal fossa or pterygo-maxillary space. We ameliorated, facial incision, maxilla disassembled, reestablishment, fixation,maxillary mucosal option and remained lateral wall of nasal cavity to some extent.
The mean time of following-up was 38 month postoperatively without complications of bleeding, infection and necrosis or prolapse of displacing bones. Nine patients were treated successfully, one died.
Reforming facial translocation approach in treating anterior-lateral benign tumor in middle cranial fossa base was safe and obtained ideal curative effect in near future.
