Abstract

Background: Advances in skull base surgery have increased the need for a detailed understanding of skull base anatomy and its intrinsic relationship to surrounding structures. This concept has directly resulted in the improvement in patient outcomes. The frontotemporal orbitozygomatic (FTOZ) transcavernous approach represents an excellent method for visualization of skull base lesions within the anterior, middle, and posterior fossae, including the parasellar region, orbit, and third ventricle. Additionally, the FTOZ transcavernous approach intends to maximize the resection of Intercavernous tumors (e.g., cavernous sinus meningiomas) and treatment of vascular pathologies in the upper clival region.
