Endoscopic Endonasal Transmaxillary Transpterygoid Approach to Meckel Cave: Anatomical Study and Preliminary Clinical Results

摘要

Objective Tumors involving Meckel cave (MC) always present challenges to neurosurgeons. We performed an investigation of the anatomical characteristics of the endoscopic endonasal transmaxillary transpterygoid approach to MC as an alternative to routine transcranial approaches and further confirmed its efficacy in the clinical setting.
