 Case Overview:
An elderly woman from North India sought treatment for severe headaches at a prominent institute in the north. Initial conservative measures were attempted due to the significant risk posed by the size and location of the tumor. Unfortunately, the tumor eventually breached the frontal bone, manifesting as a noticeable lump on her forehead. Advanced imaging tests including CT and MRI Brain revealed a large, intricate tumor affecting the intracranial anterior skull base, paranasal sinuses, and causing erosion of the skull, extending outward beneath the skin of the forehead.

Referral to NewEra Hospital:
Due to the complexity and critical nature of the case, the patient was referred to the expert Neurosurgery Team at NewEra Hospital in Vashi. Recognized for their expertise in complex cranial surgeries, the team assessed the patient’s condition and recommended a meticulous treatment plan.

Surgical Intervention:

The surgery involved a comprehensive removal of the tumor followed by intricate reconstruction using advanced techniques. A combination of Titanium Mesh and Pericranial Flap was employed to repair the extensive craniofacial defect caused by the tumor’s erosion.

Successful Outcome:
Post-surgery, the patient showed remarkable progress. She was fully ambulant and walking independently the day after the procedure.
