13 maj 2024 · The pterional or fronto-temporo-sphenoidal approach is one of the most frequently performed neurocranial craniotomy/craniectomy approaches and allows access to numerous important supratentorial anatomical substrates of vascular and neoplastic pathology.
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.
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.

1 sty 2020 · The frontotemporal, also called pterional, approach is one of the most commonly used approaches by neurosurgeons to access the sphenoid wing, suprasellar and sellar regions, cavernous sinus, and upper clivus. This approach is indicated in: • Aneurysms clipping the anterior and posterior circulation (upper basilar and its proximal branches) •
7 cze 2019 · Pterional craniotomy is the workhorse approach among cranial operative corridors. It is a highly flexible skull base approach that affords excellent exposure of the anterior cranial fossa, the...
