Pituitary Adenoma
Pituitary adenomas are a common lesion of the skull base that can invade the cavernous sinus. The invasion of the cavernous sinus leads to difficulty removing these tumors and is an independent risk factor for...

Focused endoscopic endonasal craniocervical junction approach for resection of retro-odontoid lesions: surgical techniques and nuances
Lesions posterior to the odontoid process pose a surgical challenge. Posterolateral approaches to this region are considerably risky for the spinal cord. Transoral approaches are limited in terms of exposure a...

Surgical nuances of the expanded endoscopic anterior skull base craniectomy for hyperostotic meningioma resection
The rostral expanded endoscopic approach (EEA) to anterior cranial fossa (ACF) has several advantages over transcranial/craniofacial surgery, providing early access to the vascular supply of tumors and reducin...

Techniques and challenges of the expanded endoscopic endonasal access to the ventrolateral skull base during the “far-medial” and “extreme medial” approaches
Expanding the ventrolateral skull base corridor from the midline of lower clivus to the petroclival fissure is a challenging endonasal surgical task. Resection of lytic lesions like chondrosarcoma can cause cr...
