Abstract：
The skull base (SB) is the osseous foundation of the cranial vault. It contains many openings that allow communication between the extracranial and intracranial structures. This communication is crucial in normal physiologic processes yet may also arrow spread of disease. This article provides a comprehensive review of SB anatomy including important landmarks and anatomic variants relevant to SB surgery. We also illustrate the diverse pathologies affecting the SB.
摘要：
颅底（SB）是颅底的骨基础。它包含许多开口，允许颅外和颅内结构之间的连通。这种交流在正常生理过程中至关重要，但也可能导致疾病传播。本文提供了对SB解剖结构的全面回顾，包括与SB手术相关的重要标志和解剖变体。我们还说明了影响SB的各种病理。
