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.
