Transoral-Transpalatal Approach and Endoscopic Endonasal Approach for Chordomas of the Craniovertebral Junction
Chordomas often arise from the midline clivus and extend bidirectional into the nasopharynx, intracranium, CVJ, and upper cervical area. To achieve longer survival rates, the first choice of treatment for this type of epidural tumor is complete surgical removal because of their high recurrence rates [1-6]. Nevertheless, it is difficult to achieve complete removal because of their extensiveness ...
متن کاملNeuronavigation-assisted transoral-transpharyngeal approach for basilar invagination--two case reports.
Two patients presented with congenital basilar invagination manifesting as progressive myelopathy. Both patients underwent surgery using a neuronavigation-assisted transoral-transpharyngeal approach. The Brain-LAB Vector Vision navigation system was used for image guidance. The registration accuracies were 0.9 and 1.3 mm. After decompression, posterior stabilization was performed.

متن کاملEndoscopically-assisted transoral approach for the treatment of subcondylar fractures of the mandible.
INTRODUCTION Treatment of subcondylar fractures of the mandible is one of the most controversial aspects in the field of maxillofacial traumatology. This controversy centers on the positive and negative aspects of open and closed approaches for the treatment of this kind of fractures. Open techniques lead to good reduction and osteosynthesis, but have a high risk of injury to the facial nerve a...
متن کاملExperimental Endoscopic Angular Domains of Transnasal and Transoral Routes to the Craniovertebral Junction: Light and Shade.
STUDY DESIGN We investigate on the surgical reliability of nasal palatine line for the transnasal approach and introduce a conceptually analogue radiological line as a reliable predictor of the maximal superior extension of the transoral approach. We have also compared radiological and surgical lines to find possible radiological references points to predict preoperatively the maximal extent of...
متن کاملAmyloidoma of the craniovertebral junction.
We report a rare case of localized amyloidoma of the craniovertebral junction causing severe myelopathy and respiratory distress and death. The clinical features and the natural history of this rare condition are discussed.
