Transpetrosal Routes to the Skull Base-Anterior and Posterior Transpetrosal Approaches.
World Neurosurgery 2023 April
The extended middle fossa approach with anterior petrosectomy, or anterior transpetrosal approach, is a highly effective and direct approach to difficult-to-access petroclival tumors and basilar artery aneurysms. This surgical approach exposes a significant window of the posterior fossa dura between the mandibular nerve, internal auditory canal, and petrous internal carotid artery, below the level of the petrous ridge, and provides an unobstructed view of the middle fossa floor to the upper half of the clivus and petrous apex, without requiring removal of the zygoma. The posterior transpetrosal approaches, including the perilabyrinthine, translabyrinthine, and transcochlear approaches, provide direct and wide exposure of the cerebellopontine angle and posterior petroclival region. The translabyrinthine approach is commonly used for the removal of acoustic neuromas and other lesions of the cerebellopontine angle. We provide a stepwise description of how we perform these approaches and how to combine and extend them in order to achieve transtentorial exposure.
