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.
Fronto-temporo-sphenoidal craniotomy, best known as the pterional approach (PA), is one of the most widely used approaches in cranial surgery. This is because, through the sylvian fi ssure (SF), it allows access to the subarachnoid cis-terns, the insula, and the mesial temporal lobe.
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.
1 cze 2001 · The key steps of the pterional approach are positioning, skin incision, interfascial dissection, craniotomy, drilling of the sphenoid wing, and the dural opening. After the bone removal, the pterional approach proceeds with the opening of the sylvian fissure and the basal cisterns.
28 wrz 2018 · For years, surgeons have been developing surgical approaches attempting to achieve maximal surgical exposure with minimal brain retraction, advantages found within the frontotemporal or pterional approach, first described by Yasargil, four decades ago [1–3].
