AB  - The  skull  base  includes  the  frontal  bone,  the  sphenoid  bone,  the  temporal  bone,  and  the  occipital  bone.  Tumors  of  the  temporal  bone  and  skull  base  tend  to  arise  in  1  of  3  locations:  (1)  the  mastoid  or  middle  ear,  (2)  the  jugular  foramen,  or  (3)  the  petroclival  junction  or  petrous  apex.  Tumors  of  the  cerebellopontine  angle  (CPA)  and  Meckel  cave  are  not  considered  in  this  chapter  (see  Chapter  63,  Acoustic  Neuromas,  and  Chapter  64,  Nonacoustic  Lesions  of  the  Cerebellopontine  Angle).  Tumors  arising  within  the  skull  base  are  rare  and  usually  cause  few  symptoms  until  they  grow  to  a  size  in  which  they  begin  to  affect  cranial  nerves.  Table  67–1  lists  the  various  skull  base  neoplasms  and  their  imaging  characteristics.
