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, showing the medial aspect of the cartilaginous ET. In 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.

(Fig. 17.10). From an anterior to posterior viewpoint, an anatomic sequence can be utilized to localize the carotid foramen: FO, FS, spine of the sphenoid bone, and bony tube. In such a way, the surgeon can localize 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 way, the horizontal shape of the canal and its antero­medial direction become evident.

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.
