The surgical management of trigeminal schwannomas (TNs) entails the use of a variety of cranial base approaches for their effective surgical management. Although an extended middle fossa or posterior petrosal…
Based on the anatomic relationship between sinonasal complex and orbit, endoscopic transnasal procedures could be a smart solution for approaching the medial orbital region. These techniques should be considered a…
Chondrosarcomas of the skull base are rare, locally invasive tumors that typically arise in the petroclival region, from degenerated chondroid cells located within the synchondrosis. Given their usually slow growth…
Odontoidectomy is the treatment of choice for irreducible ventral cervical-medullary compression. The endonasal endoscopic approach is an innovative approach for odontoidectomy. The aim of this article is to identify in…
Clival, petroclival, and foramen magnum meningiomas are challenging lesions to manage independently of the selected surgical approach. The expanded endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) provided a safe alternative on the armamentarium…
Sinonasal malignancies are a rare subset of malignancies of the upper aerodigestive tract which had been traditionally approached via open techniques. This article primarily addresses a paradigm shift in endoscopic…
The management of cavernous sinus and invasive parasellar meningiomas often requires a multimodality treatment approach. Early attempts at complete or near-complete removal of parasellar meningiomas involving the cavernous sinus, Meckel…
Olfactory groove meningiomas represent approximately 10% of all intracranial meningiomas. Because these tumors originate at the ventral skull base, the endonasal route provides direct access to the tumor blood supply…
The endoscopic endonasal approach for craniopharyngiomas is increasingly used as an alternative to microsurgical transsphenoidal or transcranial approaches. It is a step forward in treatment, providing improved resection rates and…
