24 Endoscopic Endonasal Approach to
Pterygopalatine Fossa
Paolo Battaglia, Mario Turri-Zanoni, Paolo Castelnuovo
Introduction
The pterygopalatine fossa (PPF) is a critical region located
behind the posterior wall of the maxillary sinus and
bordered by the pterygoid plates posteriorly, palatine
bone medially, and middle cranial fossa superiorly. It has
connections with the infratemporal fossa laterally through
the pterygomaxillary fissure, the posterior nasal cavity
medially through the sphenopalatine foramen (SPF), the
orbit superiorly through the inferior orbital fissure, and
the palate inferiorly through the palatine foramina.
this fact, the PPF represents the main pathway for the
spread of different inflammatory or neoplastic diseases
from the head and neck to the skull base.

Given
24.1 Indications
The endoscopic endonasal transantral approach can be
tailored according to the extension of the disease involving
the PPF and to the experience of the surgeon. The aim of
surgery could be to sample the lesion for diagnostic issue
or to treat it with a radical intent.
of pathologies involving the PPF can be diagnosed using
only clinical and radiologic assessment, performing the
biopsy and the complete resection of the lesion during
the same surgical procedure. For example, the biopsy of
the lesion is strongly contraindicated in case of highly
vascular lesions in young male patients for the suspect
of juvenile angiofibroma (JA). In the latter, a preoperative
intra-arterial angiography with embolization of the
hypervascularized component is recommended.
However, the tissue biopsy could be useful for the
pretreatment work-up in selected cases of unclear
diagnosis, especially when malignant tumor is suspected.
For example, when lymphoproliferative disorder,
mesenchymal tumor (e.g., sarcoma), or poorly differentiated
cancer is suspected, surgery is performed only for a tumor
biopsy, obtaining the precise diagnosis that is essential
to properly orientate the medical treatments (different
protocols of radiotherapy and chemotherapy).
The diseases originating in or extending to the PPF
that can be resected radically with curative intent are as
follows:
• Fibro-osseous lesion (e.g., fibrous dysplasia).
• JA.
• Schwannoma arising from vidian nerve (VN), infraor-
bital nerve (ION), greater and lesser palatine nerve.
• Inverted papilloma.
• Cavernous hemangioma.
• Selected cases of sinonasal and skull base malignancies
(e.g., squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, ade-
noid cystic carcinoma).
• Selected cases of nasopharyngeal cancers (e.g., undif-
ferentiated carcinoma).
2
The great majority
Contraindications for exclusive endoscopic endonasal
approach are related to the extension of disease to
selected anatomic compartments surrounding the
PPF not resectable through the transnasal corridor
and requiring external approaches or when the tumor
extension involves vital structures precluding the radical
resection of the lesion at all. The critical areas not
amenable for transnasal endoscopic resection include the
parapharyngeal spaces with encasement of the internal
carotid artery (ICA), the hard/soft palate, the cavernous
sinus, and the massive infiltration of the orbit.

24.2 Surgical Steps
The step-by-step surgical procedure is tailored to the
extension and histology of the lesion to be treated, as
follow:
• Exposure of the sinonasal corridor (Fig. 24.1). The low-
er portions of the middle and superior turbinate are
trimmed, preserving the olfactory mucosa. Anteroposterior ethmoidectomy, large maxillary antrostomy, and
sphenoidotomy are performed (Fig. 24.2).
• Identification of the surgical anatomic landmarks. A
subperiosteal dissection on the lateral nasal wall is
performed, starting approximately 1 cm anteriorly to
the tail of the middle turbinate. Just behind the crista

ethmoidalis of the palatine bone, the sphenopalatine

the sphenopalatine foramen (SPF) (Fig. 24.3). The SPF
and the prominence of the ION, visible along the roof
of the maxillary sinus, served as consistent landmarks
to understand the position of the major neural structures of the PPF (Fig. 24.4). The sphenopalatine ganglion, together with the VN and maxillary nerve (V2),
will be located superior to the horizontal plane passing
through the SPF, while the greater and lesser palatine

nerves will be located inferiorly; all the neural elements of the PPF will be found medially to the virtual
sagittal plane passing through the ION. In this phase,
it is important to recognize the vascular network of

• Opening the surgical window to approach the PPF.
The surgical approach should be tailored according
to the location and extension of the lesion into the
PPF. When the lesion is confined superiorly to the
virtual horizontal plane passing through the SPF, a
large maxillary antrostomy (preserving the integri-

removing the upper part of the posterior wall of the

such a conservative approach, only the orbital and

(Fig. 24.8) and the palatosphenoidal canal (Fig. 24.9).
The SPA and the palatovaginal artery are cauterized
and divided. During this surgical step, the periosteum behind the posterior wall of the maxillary sinus,
surfacing the PPF, has to be carefully preserved. In
this way, the VN (medially) and the V2 (superolaterally) can be identified easily by displacing the PPF
content, enveloped in the “periosteal bag,” in an inferolateral direction (Fig. 24.10). For lesions localized
or extended inferiorly to the horizontal plane passing through the SPF, the surgical window has to be
expanded inferiorly by drilling out also the vertical
plate of the palatine bone as well and by removing
the posterior half of the inferior turbinate together
with the posterior portion of the medial maxillary
wall (Fig. 24.11). Also in this case, the posterior wall
of the maxillary sinus can be removed as much as
required using Kerrison rongeurs, in a medial-to-lateral direction, generally as far as the sagittal plane
and passing through the ION (Fig. 24.12). By removing the vertical process of the palatine bone, the descending palatine artery and the palatine nerve are
visible inside to the palatine canal (Fig. 24.13). When
the VN and artery are divided, the PPF content enveloped in the periosteal layer is gently lateralized to
expose the base of the pterygoids (Fig. 24.14).
