Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: Tumors of the infratemporal fossa arc a large challenge with ENT surgeon. It is difficult to diagnosis and treat tumors of this area. The infratemporal fossa is deep location in skull base and contain important neurovascular structures. With developing of science and technology, combined nasal endoscopic surgery and transmaxillary approach to treat infratemporal fossa tumors. Methods: case report. There arc 4 cases infratemporal fossa tumors which were operated combined nasal endoscopic surgery and transmaxillary approach to remove this tumors at ENT department of Cho Ray hospital from January, 2021 to September, 2023. Results: They arc schwannoma (100%) of 4 cases. The most common symptom is facial pain (100%). Almost symtoms disappear after surgery from 3 months.
