Endoscopic Endonasal Approach to the Middle Cranial Fossa through the Cavernous Sinus Triangles: Anatomical Considerations
The lateral limit of endoscopic endonasal surgery has yet to be defined. The aim of this study was to investigate the lateral limit of endoscopic endonasal surgery at the level of the sphenoid sinus. Access from the sphenoid sinus to the middle cranial fossa through the cavernous sinus triangles was evaluated by cadaver dissection. Anatomical analysis demonstrated that the medial temporal dura ...
متن کاملEndoscopic transnasal approach to the pterygopalatine fossa.
OBJECTIVE To describe an endoscopic transnasal approach to the pterygopalatine fossa (PPF). DESIGN Case series of 3 patients. SETTING An academic medical center. Patients One patient presented with an asymptomatic PPF schwannoma. The second patient presented after a sudden onset of complete unilateral vision loss with a complete ipsilateral sphenoid sinus opacification and radiographic sign...
متن کاملEndoscopic transvestibular paramandibular exploration of the infratemporal fossa and parapharyngeal space: a minimally invasive approach to the middle cranial base.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To describe a novel transvestibular endoscopic approach for the exposure, exploration, and resection of lesions in the infratemporal fossa (ITF) and parapharyngeal space (PPS). STUDY DESIGN Surgical technique and clinical feasibilty of a novel approach to the middle cranial base. METHODS The transvestibular endoscopic approach was applied to four patients with lesions ...
متن کاملQuantitative analysis of endoscopic endonasal approaches to the infratemporal fossa.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The operative management of infratemporal skull base lesions is challenging. Expanded endonasal approaches to this area can decrease surgical morbidity. Access lateral to the natural nasal corridor can be achieved via a middle meatal antrostomy, medial maxillectomy complemented by a septotomy, or anteromedial maxillotomy (i.e., Denker's approach). We sought to compare the ...
متن کاملEndonasal transpterygoid approach to the infratemporal fossa: correlation of endoscopic and multiplanar CT anatomy.
BACKGROUND The infratemporal fossa anatomy, from an endoscopic standpoint, is poorly understood. Our purpose was to design an anatomic model that illustrates the anatomy of the infratemporal fossa from the endoscopic standpoint and serves as a training model for surgeons interested in pursuing this endeavor. METHODS Red and blue silicone dyes were respectively injected into the great vessels ...
