that these septations can lead one off the midline to the paraclival or clinoidal carotid artery. Bone overlying the sella and the chiasmatic sulcus is eggshelled using a coarse diamond 4-mm burr (Fig. 10.2).
The thinned-down bone between the limbus dura and the tubercular strut is gently dissected off while maintaining the integrity of the dura. Standard en­donasal transsphenoidal landmarks can again be ap­preciated (Fig. 10.3). The removal of the bone at this stage clearly shows the thickened dural fold (limbus dura) overlying the limbus sphenoidale. The tubercu­lum strut is carefully thinned down prior to its sub­sequent removal (Fig. 10.4). Lateral end of this strut corresponds to the medial opticocarotid recess which marks the transition between the paraclinoidal carotid and the supraclinoidal carotid artery. At this stage, lo­cation of the superior intercavernous sinus can be seen. The anatomic relationships from caudal to rostral (rel­evant to this approach) are sella, diaphragm, superior intercavernous sinus, tuberculum, chiasmatic sulcus, limbus dura, and finally the dura of the planum (not exposed here) (Fig. 10.5). The next step represents fur­ther removal of the bone to expose the planum dura. The bone overlying the OC along its medial aspect and the roof can be seen. Bone overlying the clinoidal carot­id artery is thinned down and then carefully dissected off (Fig. 10.6).
Fig. 10.7 shows relevant anatomy of the OC and the technique for maximal endoscopic endonasal OC decompression.
10.1.1 General Information
In a standard transplanum/transtuberculum approach, the limbus sphenoidale is drilled along with further re­moval of the medial aspect of the anterior root of the lesser wing of the sphenoid bone (planum sphenoidale) forming the roof of the OC. In this step, as illustrated, a 270-degree decompression of the osseous OC has been performed to enable (after dural cuts) exposure of both the preforam­inal and the intracanalicular segments of the optic nerve. This step requires a thorough understanding of the anat­omy of the OC, its osseous, and vascular relationships so that it can be performed in cases with tuberculum sellae meningiomas with true OCI, as defined by the presence of tumor in the osseous OC. Intraoperatively and in an­atomic dissections, it becomes progressively difficult to drill the superolateral aspects of the OC (formed by the lateral part of the anterior root of the lesser wing of the sphenoid). In terms of the involvement of the OC, using the lateral opticocarotid recess (LOCR), we prefer to make a distinction between the preforaminal ON, roofed by the falciform ligament from the intracanalicular segment in the osseous OC. This facilitates the preoperative surgical strategy (involving examination of preoperative images in relation to the LOCR) regarding the extent of required OC decompression and dural opening so that, when re­quired, early intraoperative decompression of the OC can be performed. Although some of the relevant details are presented here, we refer the readers to our publication for a more detailed understanding of this area.

10.1.2 Boundaries of the Optic Canal and Distinction of Its Segments
The true osseous OC with the intracanalicular segment of the ON has circumferential bony covering around it. Accordingly, its boundaries are medially the body of the sphenoid bone and inferiorly the optic strut and the ad­jacent part of the body of the sphenoid bone, with the roof being formed by the anterior root of the lesser wing of sphenoid bone. Endonasally, the osseous OC (Fig. 10.7, shaded yellow area between the dotted lines) approxi­mates to the anteroposterior length of the LOCR (~6 mm). Endonasally, the preforaminal segment can be indirectly estimated using the anterolateral fold of the limbus just medial to the LOCR (Fig. 10.7, the length between the yellow arrow and the posterior dotted curved line or the posterior aspect of the LOCR). The yellow arrow denotes the point of posteromedial attachment of the falciform ligament and represents the area through which the en­donasal dural incision should be directed to detach the falciform ligament.
10.1.3 Surgical Technique for Maximal Endoscopic Endonasal Optic Canal Decompression
The medial bony wall is removed with a 1-mm Kerrison rongeur or a microdissector (Fig. 10.7). The exposure of the intracanalicular ON surrounded by the optic sheath
is followed anteriorly to the orbital apex. To achieve up to 270-degree decompression of the intracanalicular ON, the medial wall, floor, and roof of the OC also need to be thinned and subsequently removed. The lower margin of the OC, the body of sphenoid bone adjacent to optic strut, can be drilled with a 2-mm drill bit. Removal of the superolateral aspect of the OC to increase the extent of bony decompression to up to 270 degrees increases risk of injury to the ON, so employment of a meticulous technique by an experienced skull base surgeon is nec­essary to minimize this risk. The superior aspect of the OC is thinned using the 2-mm drill under copious irri­gation. This is followed by positioning of a 1- or 2-mm Kerrison rongeur or dissectors carefully between the an­terior cranial fossa dura and the OC to dissect off the thin bone and unroof the OC, gently compressing superiorly on the anterior skull base dura but not inferiorly into the dura surrounding the OC. It is critically important that the Kerrison rongeur is placed outside the OC in a re­verse fashion. The base of anterior clinoid and the lateral aspect of the optic strut forming the lateral margin and the lateral part of the floor of the OC, respectively, can­not be removed safely via an endonasal approach. The extent of bony decompression is adjusted depending upon the preoperative imaging studies and the extent of the involvement of the OC. Prior to any endonasal tumor manipulation, patients with true OCI should undergo at least removal of the medial wall of the OC to just be­yond the anterior most aspect of the LOCR with further bony removal depending upon the pattern of OCI. Sim­ilarly, patients with extension of tumor limited to the

preforaminal segment of the ON can be identified with respect to the LOCR using the preoperative imaging. In­traoperatively in these cases, bony drilling does not need to involve the OC and can be stopped at or just beyond the posterior most aspect of the LOCR obviating any po­tential risk of injury to the intracanalicular ON.
Next pertinent step involves the endonasal dural inci­sion. This is demonstrated in a schematic representation of the dural incision on the left side to expose the pre­foraminal and the intracanalicular segments of the optic nerve (Fig. 10.8). The incision (Figs. 10.8 and 10.9) starts in the upper part of the sella and continues superiorly across the superior intercavernous sinus, tuberculum dura, and the chiasmatic sulcus before turning laterally across the limbus and planum dura.

The dural flap is now reflected laterally to identify the origin of the oph­thalmic artery. To increase the mobility of this dural leaf, two further diaphragmatic cuts directed posteriorly toward the infundibulum

are made, with the first

and the second performed laterally toward the distal dural ring (or the medial opticocarotid recess) while being cautious about the carotid and the ophthalmic arteries.

This may suffice for accessing the tumor around the cisternal or preforaminal segment of the ON. The intracanalicular dura around the OC

may be opened along its superior as­pect from a medial to lateral direction to access intracan­alicular tumor.
After completion of the first cut, the dura is reflect­ed downwards to check the origin of the ophthalmic artery from the supraclinoidal carotid artery beyond the distal ring prior to carrying out the diaphragmat­ic cuts (Fig. 10.10). A medially looping ophthalmic

artery should be checked for to prevent potential in­jury. The dura of the anterior cranial fossa is then re­flected upwards to expose the detached medial end of the falciform ligament with exposure of the underlying preforaminal optic nerve. Cisternal segment of the optic nerve can also be seen (Fig. 10.11). The corresponding intracranial view for the endoscopic view is shown in the next illustration (Fig. 10.12). Regional anatomy can be appreciated in addition to the visualization of the detached medial aspect of the falciform ligament with underlying preforaminal optic nerve. After completion of the diaphragmatic cuts and division of the dural sheath around the ON as far as the orbital apex, expo­sure of the intracranial and intracanalicular segments of the optic nerve is achieved (Fig. 10.13). The structures in the suprasellar infrachiasmatic space are represented after opening of the dura overlying the chiasmatic sul­cus. The superior hypophyseal arteries coming off the medial aspect of the supraclinoidal carotid artery and supplying the undersurface of the chiasm and pituitary stalk can be clearly seen. These vessels should be care­fully preserved in operative approaches directed toward this region (Fig. 10.14).
The dura in the planum region is finally opened to expose the gyrus rectus and other suprasellar structures, including the A1 and A2 segments of the anterior cerebral artery and the anterior communicating artery. Again superior hypophyseal arteries supplying the underside of the chiasm and pituitary stalk can be seen. The proximal cisternal optic nerve can be visualized. Reconstruction of the skull base defect can be performed using a vascularized nasoseptal flap (Fig. 10.15).
