The transcranial approach offers greater optic canal decompression circumference than the endoscopic endonasal approach. Both methods provide similar length decompression for visual decline, with approach choice depending on pathology and surgeon preference.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Ophthalmology
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Optic nerve decompression is crucial for addressing compressive visual decline.
  • Common surgical techniques include medial endoscopic endonasal and lateral craniotomy approaches.
  • Comparative anatomical data on decompression extent is essential for surgical planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To anatomically compare the length and circumference of optic canal decompression.
  • To evaluate differences between endoscopic endonasal and frontotemporal craniotomy approaches.

Main Methods:

  • Cadaveric study involving five specimens.
  • Pre- and post-dissection CT scans for volumetric analysis.
  • Bilateral optic canal decompression: frontotemporal craniotomy vs. endoscopic endonasal approach.

Main Results:

  • Mean decompression length: 13 mm (craniotomy) vs. 12.4 mm (endoscopic).
  • Mean decompression circumference: 252.8 degrees (craniotomy) vs. 124.6 degrees (endoscopic).
  • Transcranial approach yielded significantly greater circumferential decompression.

Conclusions:

  • Both endoscopic endonasal and transcranial approaches achieve similar decompression length.
  • Transcranial approach provides superior circumferential optic canal decompression.
  • Surgical approach selection should integrate invasiveness, decompression extent, pathology location, and surgeon expertise.
