Dr. John Niparko, Director, Divison of
Otology, Audiology, Neurotology and
Skull Base Surgery
Welcome to the Johns Hopkins Skull Base Team, dedicated to treating acoustic neuromas and other tumors of the skull base. Our goal is to provide a complete range of services for the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of patients with cranial base lesions and to extend the reach of our services, both individually and collectively.
The options for treating acoustic neuromas and other tumors of the skull base are a recent development of modern medicine. With the advent of new technologies in imaging, and operative and radiation management, it is increasingly clear the effective treatment of skull base tumors requires close interdisciplinary communication between clinicians involved in diagnostics or treatment.
The Johns Hopkins Skull Base team is an experienced multidisciplinary team of skull base surgeons, radiotherapists, neuroradiologists, neurologists, nurses, and other medical specialists. The team meets regularly to enhance the clinical treatment of patients with skull base diseases, evaluation of patient data, advancement of clinical and experimental research in the field of skull base surgery, and an organization of meetings for training and sponsoring scientific meetings.
