Abstract

Optic carotid and carotid oculomotor triangles are the main corridors for reaching sellar and parasellar lesions...

Highlights

The internal carotid artery (ICA) is attached to the anterior clinoid process and to the dural rings
The ICA is fixed to the anterior clinoid process and to the dural rings [1]
Its mobility is restricted, and surgery performed through these triangles is demanding

Summary

Introduction

The internal carotid artery (ICA) is attached to the anterior clinoid process and to the dural rings. The ICA is fixed to the anterior clinoid process and to the dural rings [1]. The surgical technique of paraclinoidal carotid artery mobilization via dural rings release is not clearly described in the literature.
