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.
The pterional or frontotemporal craniotomy is the workhorse of the supratentorial approaches. Because of its simplicity, flexibility, efficiency, and familiarity to neurosurgeons, this corridor is the most commonly used surgical route to lesions along the anterior and middle skull base.
We aim to describe the technical details of the transzygomatic approach to intracranial surgery. The incision begins at the level of the inferior border of the zygomatic arch, anterior to the tragus, and extends towards the contralateral pupillary line. A subgaleal and interfascial dissection is performed. Then, the zygomatic arch is vertically ...
