This study details surgical anatomy of the cavernous sinus, introducing a modified transcavernous approach for treating vascular and tumorous lesions. The method was validated in 35 clinical cases.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • The cavernous sinus is a complex venous structure at the skull base.
  • It contains critical cranial nerves (III, IV, V, VI) and the internal carotid artery.
  • Surgical access to lesions within the cavernous sinus presents significant challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the surgical anatomy of the middle compartment of the cavernous sinus.
  • To introduce a modified transcavernous surgical approach for lesions in this region.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of this approach in a clinical setting.

Main Methods:

  • Detailed anatomical description of the lateral sinus wall and its contents.
  • Development of a modified transcavernous surgical technique.
  • Retrospective analysis of 35 clinical cases treated with the modified approach.

Main Results:

  • The surgical dissection relies on key anatomical landmarks of the lateral sinus wall.
  • The modified transcavernous approach allows for effective exposure of vascular and tumorous lesions.
  • Successful outcomes were achieved in 35 demonstrated clinical cases.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding the surgical anatomy is crucial for safe cavernous sinus interventions.
  • The modified transcavernous approach offers a viable surgical option for cavernous sinus pathologies.
  • This technique facilitates the management of complex lesions within the middle cavernous sinus.
