Abstract
According to our experience in five patients, the calvarial bone flap pedicled on the temporalis muscle in combination with a galeal-pericranial flap can be recommended for one-stage reconstruction of the anterior skull base following tumor resection. It gives good support to the brain, prevents CSF leakage and ascending infection, and can be used for closure of defects exceeding the midline.
