AbstractTo treat pathological processes, primarily tumors, in the base of the skull is one of the most intricate neurosurgical problems. In the past decade, interest in this problem has greatly increased due to the advent of new methods of diagnosis, up-to-date neurosurgical equipment and to a greater cooperation of physicians of related disciplines: ophthalmologists, otosurgeons, plastic surgeons. The authors present and summarize the experience accumulated by the researchers of the N. N. Burdenko Institute of Neurosurgery in the past 10 years in treating basal tumors. Based on a great deal of clinical findings, approaches are proposed in treating some groups of basal tumors, such and pituitary adenomas, craniopharyngiomas, meningiomas at various sites, trigeminal and acoustic neurinomas, and malignant neoplasms of the base of the skull. The conditions required for successful surgical treatment of the processes in the base of the skull are described in detail. One of them is a correct determination of a surgical approach.
