Main description:

In this issue of Neuroimaging Clinics, Guest Editor Stephen Connor brings considerable expertise to the topic of skull base neuroimaging. Top experts in the field cover key topics such as imaging of acute and chronic skull base infection, trigeminal neuralgia and facial pain, jugular paragangliomas and other petrous apex lesions, acquired skull base CSF leaks, and more.

Provides in-depth, clinical reviews on skull base neuroimaging, providing actionable insights for clinical practice.
Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field; Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create these timely topic-based reviews.
Contains 14 relevant, practice-oriented topics including A guide to open skull base and image guided skull base surgery for the radiologist; Anterior and central skull base tumours; Patterns of perineural skull base tumour extension from extracranial tumours; New and advanced MRI diagnostic imaging techniques in the evaluation of cranial nerves and the skull base; and more.
