All three patients were determined to be poor candidates for open resection. Each patient was treated with a single laser fiber. Postoperative imaging confirmed ablation zones along the tract of the catheter in all three patients. Ablation zones were estimated to be 9 to 20% of the intended to treat tumor volume. Two of three treated patients suffered cranial nerve injury following the procedure with one patient diagnosed with neurotrophic keratitis and one patient with symptoms consistent with anesthesia dolorosa.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003LITT is a technically feasible, minimally invasive treatment modality for skull base lesions. Significant risk to cranial nerves and small ablation zones afforded by a single cannula placement proposes serious obstacles. Further investigation is warranted prior to using this technique outside of a palliative indication.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2061-3075","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,23]],"date-time":"2023-03-23T23:44:43Z","timestamp":1679615083000},"page":"e46-e50","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Feasibility
