Skull base metastases from primary malignant tumors are relatively uncommon lesions. They usually originate from the breast, lung, prostate, skin, liver and cervix. We report a case of a 76 years old female complaining of dizziness, mild left hearing loss, tinnitus and recurring left facial paresis.

The present study aimed to report a case of prostate cancer TMM, and to discuss the relevant clinical and neuroimaging aspects of this condition. A 68-year-old patient presented with headaches, poor visual acuity in the left eye and ips...
متن کاملPrimary carcinoid tumor of the skull base: case report and review of the literature.
