| Descripción |
The choice of surgical approach to tumors of the cranial base in children is determined by strict criteria. The criteria include optimal visibility for the surgeon, minimal possible impairment of facial skull growth, and the preservation of motor and sensory nerve integrity. From 1993 to 1996, three children (6 years old, 22 months old, 6 months old, respectively) underwent surgery to resect cranial base tumors through a modified lateral transmandibular approach. In all three patients a preauricular incision with temporal and submandibular extensions was performed. After the mandible was prepared, an osteotomy was conducted cranially to the mandibular foramen. When the capitulum was temporarily disarticulated, wide access to the cranial base was provided and the tumors were resected. Two of these children were available for followup, and we continue to observe their development. Given the severity of their conditions, treatment yielded good results. Growth impairment of the mandible was corrected by the distraction osteogenesis technique.
