The ameloblastoma has been described as benign but locally invasive; benign and locally invasive with strong tendency to recur; and locally malignant. Recurrence of this lesion in to the infratemporal and temporal region are rarely reported cases. Complete excision of lesion was done with the help of the advance imaging modalities and possible cause of recurrence in this case is discussed.

Traditionally, patients with T4b oral cavity cancer have been deemed inoperable, leading to palliative treatments, primarily radiation and chemotherapy. In this study, we aim to critically evaluate the outcome of surgical intervention, specifically Infra-temporal fossa (ITF) clearance, about disease-free survival and overall survival rates. This is a retrospective observational study conducted over 2 years.

Introduction: The term petrous bone cholesteatoma (PBC) represents a slow-growing epidermal lesion arising from the petrous part of the temporal bone. It is a rare incidence accounting for only 4-9% of all petrous bone lesions. PBC represents a real surgical challenge due to its complex relationship with critical neurovascular structures.

Background: Temporal bone dissection is overwide recognized as an ideal training method for otologic surgeons. The knowledge of temporal bone anatomy and especially of the course of infratemporal facial nerve is pivotal in practice. The 3D exoscope is an innovative and promising tool, that was recently introduced in ear surgery.

Background And Objectives: Access to the amygdala and hippocampus (A/H) is complex. To address the limitations and invasiveness of traditional approaches, including the Transsylvian, Subtemporal, and Supracerebellar infratentorial approaches, we developed the suprapetrous infratemporal (SPIT) approach. This study describes the nuances of this approach in both cadaveric studies and clinical cases.

Giant cell tumor (GCT) of bone is a rare, benign, osteolytic neoplasm that most commonly occurs in early adulthood and often involves the long bones of the body. Although GCT largely affects the epiphyses of long bones, several reports of GCT involvement of the cranial and facial bones exist in the literature. In addition to reviewing other reported cases of GCT of the lateral skull base in the literature, the authors report here on the clinical presentation, radiographic findings, and management of a patient found to have a GCT of the squamous part of temporal bone invading the middle ear and infratemporal fossae, which was treated by en bloc resection of the lateral skull base.
