Oblique basal skull fractures resulting from lateral crushing injuries involving both clivus and occipital condyle are rare due to their deep locations. Furthermore, these fractures may present clinically with multiple cranial nerve injuries because neural exit routes are restricted in this intricate region. The authors present an interesting case of basal skull fractures involving the clivus a...

Dumbbell-shaped hypoglossal Schwannomas of the 12th cranial nerve are extremely rare, and complete removal of these tumors is difficult, particularly in elderly patients with recurrent tumors. The present study reports the case of a 61-year-old male with a giant recurrent dumbbell-shaped hypoglossal schwannoma that arose extracranially. The recurrent tumor was completely removed in a one-stage ...
