Abstract

Introduction

Esthesioneuroblastoma is a rare tumour of the sino-nasal tract. One-third cases present with intracranial extension. However, treatment options are limited for such cases.

Methodology

We herein report a case with large intracranial extension treated with Induction chemotherapy, de-bulking surgery, and image guided intensity modulated radiotherapy.

Results

The patient was treated with IGIMRT technique to a dose of 64 Gy in 32 fractions. Cone bean CT verification was done twice a week to eliminate set up error. The patient achieved complete resolution of the disease and was disease free 6 months after completion of treatment.

Conclusion

IGIMRT even after a de-bulking surgery may help to achieve long-term disease control for patients with large intracranial extension with minimal morbidity.
