ABSTRACT

Tumors of the skull are 1-2% the all bone masses, they may be primary, secondary or proliferative, para-neoplastic lesion. Are cause principals symptoms and signs mass, headache, and palsies of one or several cranial nerves. The diagnosis by X-ray, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The treatment is surgical, by biopsy, resection of the lesion and following for management with therapy of radiation or systemic. Objective: to demonstrate the surgical experience in 15 patients with tumors of the skull, with treatment in the Hospital Central Sur de Alta Especialidad, PEMEX. Method and clinical material: from June 2003 to October 2005, retrospective review of 15 patients with diagnosis of tumors of the skull, they with treatment in the Department of Neurosurgery, Hospital Central Sur de Alta Especialidad, PEMEX. Results: fifth teen patients with tumors of the skull, 8 males and 7 women, ages of 2 to 71 years old (media 41.3 years old); the diagnosis was fibrous dysplasia 4/15 patients, metastasis, osteoma, hemangioma and plasmocytoma 2/15 patients each one, pseudotumor inflammatory, congenital inclusion cyst and Langerhans cell histiocytosis 1/15 patients each one; the surgical treatment was for all, predominance of the lesion resection, with craniectomy simple and craneoplasty. Two patients with fibrosus dysplasia fronto-orbital and ethmoidal, now they persist with symptoms. Conclusion: the most of the surgical treatment was curative for tumors of the skull, but is important the follow-up when the diagnosis of fibrous dysplasia fronto-orbital.
