The middle fossa, cavernous sinus, and paraclival triangles consist of ten triangles. Their use in a surgical approach is vast; most are used as landmarks to access and identify other structures of surgical interest. Multiple labels, borders, and contents mentioned by different authors make understanding and reproduction challenging and confusing. This study aims to organize and clarify recent or most relevant publications and disclose our portrayal of the ten triangles using cadaveric dissection and simple and practical figures. Four middle fossa triangles, four cavernous sinus triangles, and two paraclival triangles were dissected and delineated in a cadaveric specimen. Drawings were simplified to eliminate confusion and evaluate the triangles effortlessly. Similarities and differences in triangle names, border limits, and contents are described in a precise form. The recognition of triangle landmarks allows for treating pathologies in a frequently distorted anatomy or challenging to access structure. That is why an accurate knowledge of the surgical anatomy should be mastered, and a safe approach should be accomplished.
