Middle Transclival Endoscopic Endonasal Resection of a Ventral Pontine Cavernous Malformation

Dando forma a la curva desde el abordaje transesfenoidal microscópico al endonasal endoscópico para la región selar

“…However, microscopic amplification exposure allowed to a magnified vision with lower rates of mucosal damage and a progressive transition was done between the two techniques in our institution in the 1980s. Many aspects including the generational change and the progressive socioeconomic development of the region, as well as the introduction of new technologies, have allowed the development of different skull base surgery techniques in Latin America 25,26 . This study describes the clinical, surgical, and endocrine features of the transition from the traditional MTA approach to the EEA.…”

Defining the limits of the anterior wall of the cavernous sinus through an endoscopic view: Cadaveric anatomical study

“…Defining the limits of the anterior wall of the CS e standard endonasal endoscopic approach was performed as described elsewhere. [8,9] To achieve maximal exposure of the anterior wall of the CS, a transpterygoid approach must be performed. is involves removal of the ascending process of the palatine bone, removal of the posterior wall of the maxillary sinus to expose the pterygopalatine fossa, and transposition of the pterygopalatine fossa contents to drill the base of the pterygoid process.…”
