Sagittal oblique illustration (b) and three-dimensional volume rendering (c) demonstrate pterional (frontotemporal) craniotomy, the preferred approach for Circle of Willis aneurysms or cavernous sinus lesions.
The extended pterional approach is defined as a standard pterional craniotomy supplemented and expanded by osteotomy along the lateral sphenoid wing to the level of the superior orbital fissure, and drilling along the roof of the orbit to flatten its surface and expand the subfrontal trajectory.
