Resection of skull base lesions and subsequent reconstruction is difficult due to the complex three-dimensional anatomy of this region. Rapid prototyping using stereolithographic or laser sinter techniques may help visualize the lesions, design access osteotomies, and create templates for reconstruction of the bony skeleton.
