Our findings demonstrate heterogeneity of the nasoseptal flap appearance after skull base reconstruction. While it is important for surgeons and radiologists to evaluate variations in flap appearance, the absence of enhancement and lack of adherence to the skull base on immediate postoperative imaging do not appear to predict reconstructive success and healing, with many flaps "self-adjusting" with time.
