Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue “Cranial Base Tumors: Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Treatment” brings together international experts addressing the biological, diagnostic, and surgical complexities of cranial base tumors. These lesions lie at the crossroads of neurosurgery and otolaryngology and represent one of the most intricate challenges in modern medicine.
This issue will feature advances in tumor biology, imaging, endoscopic and open approaches, reconstructive strategies, robotics, and artificial intelligence in cranial base surgery. By linking translational science with clinical practice, it aims to refine surgical safety, precision, and long-term outcomes.
The European Skull Base Society 2025 Conference (https://www.esbs.eu/) will be held in Zagreb. This issue welcomes contributions from attendees and other leading institutions and multidisciplinary teams committed to advancing global standards of care in skull base disease.
