    AbstractThere are a myriad of head and neck pathologies that extend from the extracranial to the intracranial compartment, traversing the skull base, and knowledge of the imaging appearance of this pathology is critical to practicing neurosurgeons. This article reviews some of the important inflammatory or acquired head and neck pathology along the skull base, neoplastic skull base lesions, and the intracranial extension of head and neck malignancy. Focus will be on the relevant anatomy, appropriate imaging protocols to evaluate these processes, as well as the differentiating imaging findings on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
