    AbstractThis article describes a new surgical technique consisting of the combined use of a fascial radial fore arm free flap (RFFF) as vascular graft for extra-intracranial bypass and as dura mater plasty for reconstruction of the antero-lateral skull base. This new technique is illustrated by a case of a complex intracranial meningioma with extracranial extension necessitating resection of internal carotid artery. The technical issues of antero-lateral skull base reconstruction and extra-intracranial bypass are discussed and the literature is reviewed.
