Direct extension into the base of the skull and surrounding paranasal sinuses, orbit, and basal foramina is common. These arteries travel to the base of the brain by passing through small holes, or foramina, in the spinal column of the neck and may be compressed if there is misalignment of one vertebral body on another. A frequent mechanism of intracranial spread is through the neural foramina, resulting in frequent cranial nerve symptoms, such as blindness, diploplia, facial numbness, and anosmia from nasal carcinomas. |
