This study details the endoscopic surgical anatomy of the cavernous sinus, providing an essential anatomic foundation for endoscopic endonasal cavernous sinus surgery using cadaveric dissection.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Anatomy
  • Endoscopic Surgery

Background:

  • The cavernous sinus is a complex venous plexus critical for neurovascular structures.
  • Endoscopic endonasal approaches offer minimally invasive access to skull base pathologies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To delineate the endoscopic surgical anatomy of the cavernous sinus.
  • To establish an anatomic basis for performing endoscopic endonasal cavernous sinus surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Cadaveric dissection of five adult heads.
  • Utilized 0-, 30-, and 70-degree endoscopes for detailed visualization.
  • Explored various endonasal approaches to the sphenoidal sinus posterior wall.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Detailed description of the five vertical compartments of the sphenoidal sinus posterior wall.
  • Identification of bony protuberances and depressions within the lateral compartment, forming key triangles (optic strut, V1-V2, V2-V3).
  • Characterization of internal carotid artery segments (parasellar, paraclival) and landmark identification (vidian canal).

    • Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic endonasal dissection provides a clear view of cavernous sinus anatomy.
    • This detailed anatomic understanding is crucial for safe and effective endoscopic endonasal cavernous sinus surgery.
