Abstract

Purpose: The Le Fort I transmaxillary approach is indicated for extradural lesions of the clivus; the lateral exposure is limited by the pterygoid plates. The authors conducted a cadaveric microanatomical study to describe a modified transmaxillary Le Fort I approach aimed at improving the lateral clival exposure through a medial and posterior antrectomy and the removal of the pterygoid plates.
