Radiologic findings after successful chemoradiation for nasopharyngeal cancer with skull base erosion.

Nonoperative management is generally accepted as a treatment strategy for nasopharyngeal cancer characterized by destruction of the skull base. Chemoradiotherapy is considered the standard of care in these cases. We report a case in which imaging studies documented the successful treatment of the patient's locally extensive nasopharyngeal carcinoma with this nonsurgical approach.
