Introduction
The endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) to cavernous
sinus (CS) tumors is a safe and effective route for the
treatment of tumors located in the medial and lateral
compartments of the CS. This approach allows the
surgeon to follow the extension of the tumor into
the CS through a straightforward and completely
extracranial route, and permits to tailor the approach
for each specific case. At the beginning of the last
decade, the main issues related to CS surgery were
the high invasiveness and elevated morbidity rate of
standard transcranial approaches.
to a progressive abandoning of CS surgery in favor
of radiosurgery.

These factors led

who reconsidered the anatomy of the CS under the
endoscopic endonasal perspective.

rate.
In recent years, the endonasal CS approach has
proved to be a replicable technique with similar results
in different surgical series.
8–10
Thus, it represents
a technique that can be learn, transmitted, and
adopted with satisfaction by incoming generations of
neurosurgeons after a proper endoscopic endonasal
training. In this chapter, we will analyze the anatomic
and surgical premises and the results of this approach.
13.1 Indications
The case selection is one of the most important features
to maximize the potentiality of the EEA to CS and
minimize the morbidity. There are two main parameters
that must be kept in consideration: (1) the biologic
features, in terms of tumor infiltration of vessels and
nerves; and (2) the pattern of growth, in particular in
relationship with the dural layers. Some tumors, for
example, meningiomas, metastasis, or carcinomas,
tend to infiltrate the walls of internal carotid artery
(ICA) and the cranial nerves (CNs). Thus, for these cases
the EEA can cause catastrophic consequences, such as
ICA rupture or permanent CN palsies, as dissection
between the tumor and the surrounding structures
is not possible.
and especially for meningiomas, the risk of massive
intra- or postoperative bleeding is represented by the
occurrence of ICA rupture and/or by the injury of the
hypertrophic tumor feeders from the intracavernous
ICA, such as the meningohypophyseal trunk or the
inferolateral artery.
particularly hazardous, as it is quite complex to identify
9
It is noteworthy that for these cases,

The latter makes this surgery
the course of these vessels even with neuronavigation
or intraoperative Doppler. For meningiomas or
malignancies of the CS, some authors only recommend
an endoscopic endonasal osteodural decompression as
a palliative measure in cases of ophthalmoplegia. This
technique consists in drilling the posterior wall of the
sphenoid in the sella and parasellar area, followed by
the opening of the dura layer to decompress the neural
structures.
12–14
A further parameter to be considered is the growth of
the tumor. Some substantially extradural tumors, for instance, chondrosarcoma or chordomas, could, in their
growth, compress and displace the CS without any in-
15,16
vasion.
In these cases, the EEA allows to approach
the tumor through an extradural route, following the
same extension of the tumor to the CS. Also in case of
infiltration of the CS, for example, by a pituitary macroadenoma, this approach permits as well to follow the direction of growth of the tumor.17 When persistent trigeminal
arteries (PTAs) involve only the medial or posterosuperior compartments of CS, displacing laterally the ICA, a
midline transsphenoidal approach is enough to manage
the entire extension of the tumor. Conversely, when the
tumor involves the anteroinferior or lateral compartments,
displacing medially the ICA, we consider an ethmoido-pterygoido-sphenoidal (EPS) corridor more appropriate. A third
selection criterion that should be taken into account for the
case selection is the tumor consistency. When the tumor
is soft, its resection is clearly favored; conversely, a hard,
fibrous consistency with a hemorrhagic aspect greatly increases the surgical complexity, hampering the tumor resection with a greater risk of vessel or nerve damage during
the surgical maneuvers. Unfortunately, this crucial feature
of the tumor, which is associated with better outcome, is
still scarcely predictable before surgery. Until now, this selection criterion is purely theoretic;
16,18–27
but in the future,
neuroimaging exams, such as magnetic resonance elastography, would maybe ensure the consistency of the tumor
preoperatively.

13.2 Surgical Steps
Depending on the different types of tumor invasion, two
different surgical approaches to CS can be adopted: the
mid to line transsphenoidal and the EPS.
For the former, the first target of the surgeon should
be the identification of the sphenoid ostium. The tail of
the superior turbinate points to the sphenoidal ostium as
an arrow, and it is the more useful landmark in the nasal
stage (Figs. 13.1 and 13.2). For such approach, in case of
normal pneumatization of the sinus, a complete sphenoidotomy is enough to identify the landmarks on the
posterior wall of the sphenoid sinus and to identify the

sellar bulge, the ICA protuberances, and the optic nerves
(Figs. 13.1–13.3). In case of conchal or presallar variant
of the sphenoidal sinus, the adoption of neuronavigation
and intraoperative Doppler is mandatory to identify the
course of the carotid artery, while drilling off the bone to
expose the sella and parasellar region.
The CS region is represented by the quadrangular
space limited by the optic nerve superiorly, a horizontal
line passing at the level of the vidian nerve inferiorly, the

sellar bulge medially, and the junction between petrosal
and cavernous ICA laterally (Fig. 13.2). This anatomic
exposure allows dissecting the entire extension of the
CS both medially and laterally to the ICA. However, it is
disadvantageous to work laterally to vessel, because it
imposes an angled trajectory to the surgeon. To expand this
approach laterally, it is necessary to expose and partially
remove the upper part of pterygoid plates. This maneuver
requires the resection of the middle turbinate and the

exposure of the uncinate process and the bulla ethmoidalis
(Fig. 13.4). By removing these structures, the natural
ostium of maxillary sinus is usually visible. The tail of
the middle turbinate permits locating the sphenopalatine
foramen. When this landmark is identified, it is possible
to enlarge the sphenopalatine foramen on the vertical
process of the palatine bone, which is the posteromedial
border of maxillary sinus. After its removal, the upper part
of pterygoid plates is exposed (Fig. 13.5). The EPS ends
when the medial and superior aspects of these processes
are removed and the ethmoid is completely resected. This
permits to clearly identify from a more lateral perspective
all anatomic landmarks from the pterygoid canal with the
vidian nerve to the opticocarotid recess, exposing frontally
the entire region of CS (Fig. 13.6). Opening the dura
medially or laterally toward the ICA, the medial or lateral
compartment of CS can be accessed (Figs. 13.7–13.12).
The course of the ICA can be verified by the auxilium of
neuronavigation and intraoperative Doppler to avoid the
damage this vessel (Fig. 13.13).

The CS region has a quadrilateral shape, located between the opticocarotid recess and the paraclival carotid protuberance medially,
and the orbital apex and the trigeminal nerve protuberance laterally (c, d). The pterygoid canal on the fl oor of the sphenoid sinus
is a useful landmark because it indicates the junction between the horizontal petrosal part of the carotid artery and the ascending
paraclival segment of the vessel and, therefore, it is a guide to the inferior portion of the cavernous sinus. C5, parasellar internal
