palatine artery are transected. In such a way, the pterygopalatine soft tissues are elevated in a medial to lateral direction to expose the medial and lateral pterygoid
plates (LPPs). Following a subperiosteal plane, the foramen rotundum containing V2 is seen superolaterally to
the VN. The periosteal plane behind the maxillary antrum is then opened and the first structure that comes
into view is the fat pad of the ITF that continues with
the Bichat’s fat pad. Lying on the fat pad, the internal
maxillary artery (IMA) and its terminal branches are
visible (Fig. 17.7). A clip is positioned on the lateral-

After the fat pad is
removed, the two heads of the lateral pterygoid muscle
(LPM) inserting on the LPP come into view, bordered
laterally by the deep portion of the temporalis muscle
(sphenomandibular muscle). The LPM is detached from
its medial insertion.
• A transpterygoid approach is then performed
(Fig. 17.8). The root of the pterygoid is drilled out following the VN, as far as the medial genu of the ICA.
Then, the medial pterygoid plate (MPP) is drilled out,

this phase, the insertion of the medial pterygoid muscle
is distinguished and detached from the lateral aspect of
the MPP, showing the tensor veli palatini muscle and,
behind, the levator veli palatini muscle. Remarkably,
the superior edge of the LPP can be a useful landmark

for identifying V3: by drilling out this bone, the surgeon can find and cut V3 emerging from the foramen
ovale (FO) and lying on the upper part of the cartilaginous ET (Fig. 17.9). Moving in a posterolateral direction
at the level of the bony skull base, the middle meningeal artery, passing through the foramen spinosum (FS),
is detected and cut. Just behind the FS, the spine of the
sphenoid bone is exposed.

an anatomic sequence can be utilized to localize the

and safely skeletonize the distal portion of the petrous
ICA and the upper portion of the parapharyngeal ICA.
• At the end of the anatomic dissection, the petrous tract
of the ICA can be transected and displaced down to expose completely the carotid canal, from the sphenoidal
lingula back to the carotid foramen (Fig. 17.11). In this

17.4 Case Examples
17.4.1 Case 1
A 67-year-old woman presented with headache on the
right side and diplopia. A head CT and contrast-enhanced
MR scans demonstrated an expansile lesion of the right
petrous apex abutting in the sphenoid sinus, compatible
with a cholesterol granuloma (Fig. 17.12a). The patient
underwent an endoscopic endonasal marsupialization
of the cystic lesion, under control of the paraclival and
petrous segments of the ICA (medial aspect). Wide communication with the cystic cavity is achieved following
evacuation of the content. An ipsilateral nasoseptal flap
is harvested and placed inside the cystic cavity to prevent restenosis (Fig. 17.13). The symptoms of the patient
were solved after surgery and the 1-year post-op MR scan
shows the patency of the surgical cavity (Fig. 17.12b).
17.4.2 Case 2
A 41-year-old man, previously treated with radiochemotherapy for undifferentiated carcinoma of nasopharyngeal type (WHO type III), presented with a persistence
of disease involving the left nasopharynx and extended
to the UPPS. However, no encasement of the ICA was observed on the pre-op MR scan (Fig. 17.14a). The tumor
was staged as yrT4N0M0. The patient underwent an endoscopic endonasal nasopharyngectomy type III with resection of the ITF and UPPS. The petrous portion of the
ICA was fully exposed as far as the carotid foramen and
the upper part of the parapharyngeal ICA was visualized
as well (Fig. 17.15). The 1-year post-op MR scan excluded
persistence or recurrences of disease (Fig. 17.14b).
17.5 Complications
Injuring the ICA is arguably the most frightened and
debilitating complication of endoscopic endonasal cranial base surgery. Furthermore, the fear of injuring the
ICA may limit and, hence, jeopardize the extent of resection. Being able to accurately predict the location of
the vessel intraoperatively before actually visualizing it
is crucial for performing safe and effective approaches. Two means by which the ICA may be injured during
endoscopic surgery involve the unexpected absence of
overlying protective bone or an unexpected changed
position of the artery itself.7 In a recent study, the rates
of ICA injury during transnasal procedures varied from
0.4% for experienced surgeons to 1.4% for surgeons with
less experience.
Other minor complications and sequelae that may
occur during these approaches are as follows: the dry
eye syndrome, subsequently to the vidian bundle resection; the numbness of the hard palate ipsilateral to
the surgical resection, due to the sacrifice of palatine
nerves (greater and lesser); temporary or permanent
paresthesia of the cheek secondary to an injury of the
maxillary nerve (V2); persistent glue ear with disabling
conductive hearing loss, as a result of cartilaginous ET
resection; temporary postoperative masticatory impairment; and/or trismus in case of expanded approaches
including the cutting or disarticulation of the LPM and/
or temporal muscle.

Introduction
The endoscopic endonasal approaches (EEAs) to remove
lesions of the petrous apex include the transpterygoid
infrapetrous approach with or without vidian nerve
transposition and partial clivectomy via a transsphenoidal
approach with or without internal carotid artery (ICA)
lateralization. The selection of the safest surgical approach
depends on the position of the lesion relative to the ICA,
degree of tumor extension, and pathology. The EEAs
are ideal for lesions that abut the lateral recesses of the
sphenoid sinus. Advantages over the transcranial
approaches include less operative time, no craniotomy, easy
follow-up at the clinic, and faster recovery. This chapter
provides stepwise descriptions of both surgical approaches.
18.1 Indications
• Cystic tumor: cholesterol granuloma, dermoid tumor,
mucocele.
• Solid tumor: chordoma, chondrosarcoma, suspected
metastatic tumor, etc.
• Others: petrous apicitis, etc.
18.2 Surgical Steps
EEAs to remove lesions of the petrous apex include a
transpterygoid infrapetrous approach, with or without
vidian nerve transposition, and a partial clivectomy via a
transsphenoidal approach, with or without ICA lateralization. This chapter provides stepwise descriptions of these
surgical approaches.
The petrous apex is located in the petrous temporal
bone, a pyramidal-shaped bone located at the confluence
of the greater wing of the sphenoid and basilar portion of
the occipital bones (Fig. 18.1a–c). Several techniques for
accessing the petrous apex region have been proposed,
including the anterior transpetrosal,

and translabyrinthine (in the case of hearing loss)
approaches.
niques beginning after completion of total ethmoidectomies and wide sphenoidotomies.

Herein, we offer a description of the tech-
18.2.1 Medial Transsphenoidal
Approach
If the petrous apex lesion expands into the sphenoid
sinus, a medial transsphenoidal approach can be performed. Anatomic landmarks in the sphenoid sinus are
shown in Fig. 18.2a. After ethmoidectomies and wide
sphenoidotomies (Fig. 18.2a), the floor of the sphenoid
sinus is drilled posteriorly, using a high-speed drill with a
3-mm coarse diamond burr, until it is flush with the clivus; then a partial clivectomy is performed. Once the medial aspect of the paraclival ICA and the lesion is opened,
the thin, small pieces of bone are removed with a 1- or
2-mm Kerrison rongeur to avoid injuring the dura mater,
and the cyst is drained into the sphenoid sinus and nasopharynx (Fig. 18.2b, c). Angled suction tips facilitate the
removal of all granuloma contents as well as the irrigation of the cavity. We advocate inserting a silicone stent
into the cavity (e.g., 6–7 mm tracheal T-tube customized
in the fashion of a tympanostomy T-tube), draining it into
the sinonasal tract, and maintaining the marsupialization
of the granuloma for 3 to 6 months.
Lesions that are mainly located posterior to the ICA or that
are hard to access because of poor pneumatization require a
medial transsphenoidal approach with ICA lateralization. A
transpterygoid approach is used to identify the vidian nerve
and artery, and to follow them to the anterior genu of the
ICA. The posterior nasal and sphenopalatine arteries are
dissected and transected, and the pterygopalatine ganglion
is exposed. The soft tissues are dissected laterally until the
vidian artery and nerve can be visualized exiting their canal
(Fig. 18.2d). The vidian canal can be identified running on
the floor of the sphenoid sinus from medial to lateral in the

anteroposterior sagittal plane (Fig. 18.2e). The region medial and inferior to the vidian canal is skeletonized with a highspeed drill from anterior to posterior to reach the cartilage
of the foramen lacerum (Fig. 18.2f). This landmark becomes
crucial in avoiding damage to the ICA at this level. The bone
over the carotid artery is thinned with the high-speed drill
and carefully removed with a combination of drilling and
elevation with Kerrison rongeurs, to expose the periosteum
that surrounds the vertical and horizontal segments of the
ICA (Fig. 18.2g). The dura of clivus and the entire medial
part of the paraclival ICA are exposed in a similar fashion
to provide adequate space to access the lesion (Fig. 18.2h,
i). Bleeding from the clival bone marrow and basilar plexus
can be copious but relatively easy to control with hemostatic paste. Removal of the midclivus and paraclival ICA canal
allows the lateralization of the vessel by several millimeters,
thus expanding the lateral access to the lesion.
18.2.2 Transpterygoid Infrapetrous
Approach
After performing bilateral wide sphenoidectomies
(Fig. 18.3a) and a wide antrostomy that allows visualization of the posterior wall of the maxillary sinus, the
posterior wall of the maxillary sinus is removed to expose
the contents of the pterygopalatine fossa. The sphenopalatine artery can be ligated, clipped, or cauterized at its
exit at the sphenopalatine foramen and then mobilized
with the soft tissues of the pterygopalatine fossa, inferiorly and laterally, to expose the pterygoid process and
identify the vidian canal and foramen. Drilling around
these structures is performed from anterior to posterior,
effectively removing the base of the pterygoid process
(Fig. 18.3c).

The pharyngobasilar fascia is dissected from the roof
of the choana (Fig. 18.3b), and the floor of the sphenoid
sinus is drilled posteriorly until flush with the clivus.
The vidian canal is skeletonized while drilling the base of
the pterygoid process. Thus, the vidian nerve is followed
posteriorly to reach the cartilage that shields the anterior face of the foramen lacerum and the anterior genu of
the ICA in its transition from the petrous to the paraclival
segments (Fig. 18.3d).
Drilling the pterygoid process further posterior and
lateral also exposes the medial part of the foramen ovale
and the proximal segment of the mandibular nerve anterior to the petrosal part of the ICA (Fig. 18.3e, f). Tumors
located in the petrous apex are most commonly epidural, and may compress surrounding nerves and arteries,
especially the ICA and mandibular nerve. In cases of a
cholesterol granuloma, a silicone stent is inserted into the
cavity as aforementioned.
18.3 Complications
Injury of the ICA is the most devastating complication of
the approach to the petrous apex, as lesions are intimately
associated with the posterior aspects of the vertical
(i.e., paraclival) and horizontal (i.e., petrosal) segments of
the ICA. The sixth cranial nerve runs through the cistern
194
and passes through the interdural space (located just
posterior to the petrous apex). Therefore, the periosteal dura is the only layer separating the sixth nerve and
the petrous apex before entering Dorello’s canal.
4
Tumors
arising in the petrous apex usually displace the sixth cranial nerve posteriorly.
Other potential complications include the following:
vidian nerve injury; injuries to the maxillary nerve, mandibular nerve, and basilar artery; and injury to clival
lesion dura. Injury to the vidian nerve may lead to a
5
dry eye.
18.4 Tips and Tricks
• The vidian nerve, vidian artery, and vidian canal are
important landmarks to avoid complications.
serve the vidian nerve as much as possible. In patients
at high-risk case for a vidian nerve injury, we use a vid-
ian nerve transposition.
5
The medial extension of the
cystic wall to cross the plane of the medial aspect of the
ICA reduces the chance of a carotid injury, as the vessel
does not need lateralization.
• Identification of important landmarks is easiest in
well-pneumatized sphenoid sinuses. In the case of
a not-so-well-pneumatized sinus, image guidance
becomes more critical.
