What We Treat

Skull base tumours arise at the junction of the head and neck — affecting the sinuses, orbit, infratemporal fossa, and cranial nerves. They require joint planning between head & neck surgery and neurosurgery.

Sinonasal Malignancies

Cancers of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses — including squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and olfactory neuroblastoma.

Anterior Skull Base Tumours

Meningiomas, olfactory groove tumours, and craniofacial resections for tumours extending intracranially.

Infratemporal Fossa Tumours

Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas, paragangliomas, and other lesions in the deep spaces of the head and neck.

Lateral Skull Base

Parotid malignancies with skull base involvement, temporal bone tumours, and facial nerve management.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions

Are skull base tumours always cancerous?
No. Many skull base tumours are benign (meningiomas, angiofibromas, paragangliomas) but still require surgery due to their location and growth causing nerve compression or vascular involvement.
How long is recovery from skull base surgery?
Recovery varies significantly based on the extent of surgery — from 1–2 weeks for endoscopic procedures to 4–6 weeks for major craniofacial resections. Dr. Narayana will give you a specific expectation at consultation.
Is my case too complex to operate on?
Dr. Narayana welcomes complex referrals including previously irradiated cases and recurrent tumours. WhatsApp your scans for a preliminary assessment before travelling.
