9 Transcribriform Approach
Cristobal Langdon, Mauricio López Chacón, Manuel Bernal-Sprekelsen, Isam Alobid
Introduction
The transcribriform endonasal approach has become an important surgical tool for the treatment of sinon­asal and anterior skull base malignancies. Although rare, the most common tumors of the anterior cranial base in the region of the cribriform plate include adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, esthesio­neuroblastoma, olfactory nerve schwannomas, and olfactory groove meningiomas. The cribriform plate encompasses the areas of the olfactory cleft, the skull base above the ethmoid plate (septum), and the floor of the olfactory bulbs. Experience with endoscopic tech­niques in sinus surgery has demonstrated that anterior skull base is accessible in its full anteroposterior extent (posterior wall of frontal sinus to planum sphenoidale) and lateral extent (lamina papyracea). Recent reports of the endonasal transcribriform approach have demon­strated good oncologic and functional results in the treatment of anterior skull base tumors.
9.1 Indications
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks of the anterior skull base.
Mucoceles.
Large osteomas.
Encephaloceles.
Meningoceles.
Olfactory groove meningiomas.
Olfactory neuroblastoma.
Sinonasal malignancy with anterior skull base invasion.
9.2 Surgical Steps
The transcribriform approach encompasses the medial anterior skull base and olfactory groove. Intracranially, it corresponds to the gyri recti, orbitofrontal gyri, olfactory nerves, and interhemispheric fissure. The most important vital structures related to this approach are the orbits lat­erally and the anterior cerebral arteries (second segment of the anterior cerebral artery, A2) and their branches (fronto-orbital, frontopolar) (Fig. 9.1). Depending on the localization and/or size of the lesion, the approach can be tailored to prevent unnecessary opening of the skull base. Its anterior limits are the frontoethmoidal recess, but could be extended up to the anterior plate of the fron­tal bone. Posteriorly, the limit is the planum sphenoidale and/or the posterior ethmoidal arteries (PEAs). In a sagit­tal cut of a cadaveric specimen, we can observe the mea­sures of the skull base structures and sagittal limits of the approach (Fig. 9.2). Laterally, it is bound by the roof of the ethmoid sinus (fovea ethmoidalis) and the medial orbital wall (lamina papyracea). In general terms, this approach is performed bilaterally; however, in some localized para­median tumors, a unilateral approach with intention to preserve contralateral olfaction is an option.
The initial step begins with anterior and posterior ethmoidectomy with a wide sphenoidotomy to have a complete access to the skull base (Fig. 9.3); the latter is discussed in previous chapters. Usually, all expanded ap­proaches begin with accessing the sphenoid sinus, which sometimes may be difficult as the tumor precludes a clear access or the bony structures are destroyed because of the tumor infiltration. If this is the case, our philosophy

is to first access the bony landmarks and, if not, recognize the vascular landmarks such as the anterior ethmoidal arteries (AEAs) and PEAs.
It is important to enable a bimanual dissection. The ability to use both hands (traditionally with suction in the nondominant hand and a drill, dissector, or elevator in the dominant hand) allows a clear operative field for a safe dissection. We usually use angulated endoscopes (30 or 45 degrees) during the approach depending on the surgeon preferences.
On behalf of an easier explanation, the approach will be described step-by-step starting from the sphenoid up to the frontal sinus.
9.2.1 First Step
Bilateral sphenoidotomies are performed, and the pla­num sphenoidale is exposed. It is convenient to extend laterally to the level of the medial pterygoid plates to ensure adequate exposure, not only for visualization but also to warrant unobstructed access in the event of critical bleeding. The posterior septal artery should be preserved in case a pedicled nasoseptal flap is required for skull base reconstruction. A posterior septectomy is performed to facilitate the use of multiple instruments simultaneously.
9.2.2 Second Step
Complete ethmoidectomies are performed bilaterally. Identification of the AEA and PEA on both sides (see Chapter 7) and their cauterization or clipping under direct visualization prevent uncontrolled bleeding and contribute to early tumor devascularization. runs in an anteromedial direction through the anterior ethmoidal canal, which is usually located between the second and third lamella, posterior to the frontal recess. The PEA courses horizontally in the posterior ethmoid­al canal, usually located 10 to 12 mm from the AEA, 7 to 8 mm from the optic foramen, and 18 mm from the tuberculum sella.

At this point, one should have com­pleted the exposure to the anterior cranial base from the posterior aspect of the frontal sinus to the planum sphe­noidale and laterally to the lamina papyracea bilaterally. If additional anterior exposure is needed, it can be ob­tained by a frontal recess approach, with medial wid­ening of the frontal recesses and removal of the frontal nasal septum and inferior frontal sinus septum (in the sense of a Draf type III).

9.2.3 Third Step
Opening of the cribriform plate and dura is performed (Figs. 9.4a,b and 9.5). Drilling proceeds from the fron­tal recess or posterior table of the frontal sinus working posteriorly. Removal and cauterization of the soft tissue overlying the bone of the olfactory sulcus will help in drilling. As the crista galli is approached, a significant drilling is required as it is attached to the falx and an eggshell bone is required to remove it without damage. The dissection is performed posteriorly until complete exposure of the dura is obtained. Now the dura can be coagulated to provide additional hemostasis and tumor devascularization. The dura is then incised and opened

on both sides of the falx to prevent damaging the anterior falcine artery and associated falcine branches (supplying the tumor and falx) as they run in the midline. One must remember that this artery is the primary residual feeding vessel for meningiomas. In these cases, once the menin­gioma is exposed, internal debulking can continue until the edge of the falx and the anterior falcine artery vessels are identified and coagulated for final tumor devascu­larization and hemostasis. In case the tumor extension reaches the orbit, it is advisable to first detach the dura from the supraorbital aspect before its incision, as this is helpful not only for the later over and underlay recon­struction, but also for potential enlargement of margins along the dura.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a mass in the olfac­tory fossa extending to the fronto-ethmoidal region (Figs. 9.6–9.9). The intracranial extension revealed con­trast enhancement of the dura without cerebral involve­ment (Kadish stage C). Endoscopic biopsy was positive for olfactory neuroblastoma, and a transcribriform approach was performed (Figs. 9.10–9.14).

9.4 Complications
The relative incidence of these complications is related to the tumor location/extension and the subsequent defect left after its removal. Major complications include post­operative CSF leakage with or without concurrent men­ingitis, pneumocephalus, seizures, strokes, intracranial
hematoma, intracranial abscess, orbital hematoma, and death. The best way to prevent or reduce complications is to make a thorough plan of your surgery and be ahead of any nuance or problem.
Postoperative CSF leak is a common complication, but recently many endoscopic skull base surgeons have shown the feasibility and efficacy of endoscopic repair

for large skull base defects with mucoperichondrial/mu­coperiosteal vascularized flaps. The nasoseptal mucosal flap for skull base reconstruction has reduced the overall postoperative CSF leakage rate fails or the pathology involves the nasal septum, then the lateral wall flaps with anterior or posterior pedicles can be used. The most important factor in decreasing post­operative CSF leak during anterior skull base defect re­pair is obtaining a watertight dural closure. The use of a lumbar drainage in this situation is still controversial. Nevertheless, the authors believe that its use decreases intracranial pressure and reduces pressure on the site of repair, thereby preventing leakage. Other authors be­lieve that CSF drainage through the lumbar spine may elevate the brain off the anterior skull base, thus pulling the reconstruction of the skull base inwards. of the latter theory also claim that downward pressure of the frontal lobe will theoretically assist in sealing the closure, and that possible air aspiration via an anterior cranial defect may predispose patients to pneumoceph­alus and subsequent brain herniation. Tension pneumo­cephalus usually occurs as a result of a ball-valve effect from a small defect in the repair coupled with improper lumbar drain usage. We recommend lumbar drain usage and meticulous repair to prevent this life-threatening complication. Treatment depends on the patient’s neu­rologic status. The main treatment consists of clamping the lumbar drain and applying intravenous antibiotics. Frequent neurologic evaluation and serial head comput­ed tomography scanning of patients without neurologic changes are scheduled.9 In patients with acute neurologic changes, immediate decompression is warranted in addi­tion to those previously listed. In the rare event of a sei­zure, treatment consists of intravenous administration of one of the different types of anticonvulsants and airway protection in the acute setting. Strokes after endoscopic anterior skull base resection are rare.
Intracranial hematoma may happen when hemostasis during and at the end of the procedure was not meticu­lous. The anterior cerebral arteries are within the field of dissection during the intracranial tumor resection. Care should be taken to prevent excessive torsion or pulling on tumor adjacent to these vessels because this may cause bleeding from main trunks or its branches. In revision cases with marked fibrosis and tissue adhesion, an open

approach should be considered if tumor cannot safely be dissected from the vessels endoscopically. To protect adja­cent neural tissue, bipolar cautery, instead of monopolar, is recommended for achieving hemostasis. If an intracra­nial hematoma is discovered postoperatively, treatment consists of drainage with control of hemorrhage (often no specific source is found) and prescription of prophylactic antibiotics to prevent meningitis or intracranial abscess.
Intracranial abscess can occur after any type of skull base procedures. A common source is CSF leakage lead­ing to meningitis and eventual abscess formation. The use of a perioperative intravenous antibiotic that crosses the blood–brain barrier is endorsed to decrease the risk.
Although uncommon, all patients undergoing anterior skull base surgeries should be advised of the possibility of a fatal complication. Without timely recognition and appropriate medical or surgical management, any of the previously discussed complications can quickly evolve and lead to a preventable fatality.

9.5 Tips and Tricks
Localize frontal sinuses and both AEA and PEA and the
planum sphenoidale as a first step to secure a wide and
accessible approach.
Perform a Draf type III procedure to have a wide anteri-
or margin to work with.
Devascularize the tumor by cauterizing or clipping
both AEA and PEA before entering the intracranially.
Open the dura on both sides of the falx to prevent dam-
aging the anterior falcine artery and associated falcine
branches (supplying the tumor and falx) as they run in
the midline.
In cases the tumor grows laterally toward the supra-
orbital dura, first detach the dura there before open-
ing it as it will be helpful to obtain further margins for
potential frozen sections and to reconstruct the skull
base defect.
Angled scopes facilitate and secure a complete dissec-
tion of the tumor as all cavities can be explored.
Study the skull base reconstruction you may need be-
fore starting surgery. Be sure that you can use vascular-
ized flaps for the reconstruction and evaluate alterna-
tive types of reconstruction.

Introduction
In this chapter, we present the technical nuances for performing the endoscopic endonasal transtuberculum transplanum approach in a stepwise manner using illus­trations derived from dissection of the anatomic speci­mens. This is then supplemented with a clinical case example.
Using our own experience and recently published findings from a research study, we will also present the nuances for performing a 270-degree decompression of the optic canal (OC) and the opening of the dural sheath surrounding it, which may be required for invasion/ involvement of the OC with pathologies such as tuber­culum sellae meningioma. This endoscopic endonasal approach has been successfully employed for the removal of tuberculum sellae and planum sphenoidale menin­giomas. The incidence of optic canal invasion (OCI) has been reported to be high with these tumors, ranging from approximately 56 to 77%, thus highlighting the need for the appreciation of the anatomy of the OC and its sur­rounding structures from an endonasal perspective.

The knowledge of the anatomy and the principles in­volved in the dural opening and exposure can also be applied for approaching suprasellar lesions such as cra­niopharyngioma where the dura of chiasmatic sulcus is opened to expose the suprasellar infrachiasmatic cistern and resect the lesion.
10.1 Technical Description
Endoscopic endonasal anatomic dissections is performed using rod lens endoscopes (Karl Storz, 4 mm, 18 cm, Hopkins II, 0 and 45 degrees) attached to a high­definition camera and a digital video recorder system. Heads are positioned supine on the dissection table with a Mayfield head holder being used to maintain a neutral position.
An endoscopic endonasal approach to the sella and tuberculum sellae region involves a wide bilateral sphe­noidotomy, posterior ethmoidectomy, and posterior septectomy (Fig. 10.1). The intrasphenoidal septations are thinned down using a drill while keeping in mind
