Abstract
Preoperative and intraoperative imaging for endoscopic endonasal approaches to the skull base. Gardner PA, Kassam AB, Rothfus WE, Snyderman CH, and Carrau RL (2008). Otolaryngol Clin North Am 41(1), 215-30.
Endoscopic endonasal approaches are being used with increasing frequency to provide access to virtually any anterior cranial base, clival, or anterior craniocervical pathology. The radiographic evaluation of skull base anatomy and its relationship to associated tumors is critical for both preoperative planning and intraoperative guidance, to ensure the safety and efficacy of these techniques. CT and MRI play a complementary role in guiding endoscopic endonasal procedures.
