Endoscopic Skull Base Tumour

The skull base is a highly complex region that supports the brain and houses critical nerves and blood vessels. Tumours in this area—such as pituitary adenomas, meningiomas, craniopharyngiomas, and chordomas—can cause headaches, vision problems, hormonal imbalances, and neurological deficits. Due to their deep location, skull base tumours require advanced surgical expertise and innovative approaches.

At Srinivasa Neurologics, led by Dr. Rakshith Srinivasa, we specialize in endoscopic skull base surgery, a minimally invasive approach that uses natural nasal pathways or small keyhole incisions to access and remove tumours. This technique minimizes trauma, preserves function, and promotes faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

Conditions That May Require Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery

• Pituitary Adenomas – Tumours affecting hormone production and vision.

• Craniopharyngiomas – Growths near the pituitary and hypothalamus.

• Meningiomas – Tumours located at the anterior or middle skull base.

• Chordomas – Rare tumours affecting the clivus and cranial base.

• Esthesioneuroblastomas – Tumours arising from the nasal cavity extending to the skull base.

• Other Complex Lesions – Cysts, vascular malformations, or metastases.
