Abstract
Background
The fully endoscopic combined endonasal and supraorbital keyhole approach, which integrates the endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) and the endoscopic supraorbital keyhole approach (eSKA), is effective for complex suprasellar tumors extending beyond the internal carotid artery (ICA). We detail its application for tuberculum sellae meningiomas with lateral extension.
Method
Tumor resection is performed via the EEA, with support from the eSKA. This allows for careful management of the optic nerve under direct visualization and enables sufficient tumor resection.
Conclusion
This combined approach facilitates extensive tumor resection, effective skull base reconstruction, and preservation of surrounding structures.
期刊介绍:
The journal "Acta Neurochirurgica" publishes only original papers useful both to research and clinical work. Papers should deal with clinical neurosurgery - diagnosis and diagnostic techniques, operative surgery and results, postoperative treatment - or with research work in neuroscience if the underlying questions or the results are of neurosurgical interest. Reports on congresses are given in brief accounts. As official organ of the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies the journal publishes all announcements of the E.A.N.S. and reports on the activities of its member societies. Only contributions written in English will be accepted.
