Transcranial Microsurgical and Endoscopic Endonasal Cavernous Sinus (CS) Anatomy: A Cadaveric Study

Abstract

Microscopic and endoscopic exposure of the CS is relatively easy in cadavers. But endoscopic or microsurgical exposure of the CS during surgery is more difficult requiring skill. With experience of the cadaveric study , the CS may be explored via transcranial microsurgery, endonasal endoscopy, or both simultaneously, according to the nature and extension of the pathology.
