2. Access to Paramedian Corridor (Coronal Plane)
The most critical and dening structure is ICA in this plane. The paramedian skull base may be divided into anterior (corresponding to the orbit and anterior cranial cavity), mid­dle (corresponding to the middle cranial, pter­ygopalatine and infratemporal fossae) and posterior (includes the craniovertebral junc­tion lateral to the occipital condyles and the jugular foramen) segments.
(A) Anterior Coronal Plane
It is further divided into the supraorbital and transorbital approaches [911]. Supraorbital approach provides access to anterior cranium lesion extending later­ally over orbit. Transorbital is designed to reach both extraconal and intraconal lesions. The indications for the extra­conal approach are the sinonasal lesions that displace, erode or invade the medial wall of the orbit and for orbital/optic nerve decompression in Graves’ disease or trauma. The intraconal approach is indicated to address intraorbital benign space- occupying lesions, such as schwan­nomas, haemangiomas and meningio­mas. The steps include complete ethmoidectomy and exposure of lamina papyracea in full extend. The next step is the removal of lamina. For supraorbital lesions, periorbita is lifted off from the cranium base with cauterization of eth­moid vessels. Binostril approach can be performed by superior septectomy. For intraconal compartment access, perior­bita is incised to expose the medial and inferior rectus muscles. The gap between these two muscles represents the window for intraconal access (Fig.7.7). As oph­thalmic arteries and the optic nerves can­not be mobilized, they constitute the lateral limits of the approach.
(B) Middle Coronal Plane
It is further divided into ve different zones, according to their relationship with specic segments of the ICA.Zone 1 is the boundary to approach the lesions

found medial to petrous apex, zone 2 is corridor for infrapterous access, zone 3 is passage for suprapetrous access, zone 4 is for lateral cavernous sinus access and zone 5 is for middle fossa and infratem­poral fossa. Except for zone 1, all zones start with a transpterygoid approach using the maxillary sinus as the working corri-
1215]. These approaches provide
dor [ access to skull base lesions posterior to the maxillary sinus (e.g. middle cranial, pterygopalatine and infratemporal fossae, lateral sphenoid recess, petrous apex, cav­ernous sinus). Common pathologies include schwannomas, juvenile nasopha­ryngeal angiobromas, sinonasal malig­nancy and meningoencephaloceles.
(i) Transpterygoid Approach
The pterygopalatine fossa (PPF) is bound by the pterygoid process posteriorly, the palatine bone anteromedially and the maxilla anterolaterally. The ITF is an ana­tomic space located under the oor of the middle cranial fossa and pos­terior to the maxilla. It communi­cates medially with the pterygopalatine fossa through the pterygomaxillary ssure, anteriorly ITF is continuous with the inferior

orbital ssure. Pneumatization of the sphenoid sinus extending into the greater sphenoid wing bears a lateral sphenoid recess (i.e. ptery­goid recess), which projects under the middle fossa. The paired ptery­goid processes comprise medial and lateral plates, fused at their anterior cephalic aspect, the ptery­goid base. Three important foram-

foreman. The posterior wall of the antrum is removed, revealing the contents of the PPF covered with periosteum. The sphenopalatine and posterior nasal arteries can be divided and mobilized laterally which exposes the vidian canal. The location of the vidian canal is usu­ally at the insertion of the medial pterygoid plate on the pterygoid process of the sphenoid bone. The vidian nerve and artery inside the canal can be coagulated and divided, allowing for the subsequent lateral­ization of the contents of the ptery­gopalatine fossa and identication of the pterygoid base as well as the foramen rotundum. The base of the pterygoid plate is drilled, and the lateral sphenoid recess is opened. The infratemporal approach is dis­cussed in the next section. The objective behind reconstruction is to restore the natural isolation of the intracranial structures from the sino­nasal cavity, avoiding a CSF leak
213
and secondary complications, such as infection or meningitis. A vascu­larized reconstruction (e.g. nasosep­tal ap) is favoured. The reconstruction options are men­tioned in the last section.
Trans-cavernous Approach [13]
(ii)
It allows access lateral to cavernous carotid. Pituitary macroadenomas extending posterior to cavernous carotid is the only indication for the trans-cavernous approach. It allows lateral displacement of the carotid artery.
(iii)
Petrous Apex Approach [10, 12]
Petrous apex lesions extending towards the sphenoid sinus can be accessed by this approach. Extended sphenoidotomy and drill­ing of bone over the petrous apex allows access.
(iv) Suprapetrous Approach
It starts with complete exposure of the course of internal carotid artery. Lesion extending into trigeminal nerve and Meckel’s cave are man­aged by suprapetrous approach.
Infra-petrous, trans-condylar and parapharyngeal are the poste­rior coronal approaches. The surgi­cal exposure in posterior coronal approaches is improved by Denker’s approach, septal window and by wide maxillectomy. Zone 5 is discussed in the next section.
7.1.1 Contraindications ofEEAs
Contraindications to an endoscopic approach to the skull base include tumour extending lateral to the midline of orbital roof, or lateral to optic nerve, cases where an oncological resection mandates a total maxillectomy, orbital exentera­tion or resection of facial skin, and most impor­tantly lack of progressive experience in surgical team [16].

7.1.2 Limits ofEEAs
Certain limitations to EEAs are signicant pos­terior fossa extension with the tumour located behind the ICA, institutional limitations (lack of transnasal Doppler, stereotactic neuro­navigation, specialized endo-bipolars and extraocular EMG monitoring) and tumours that circumferentially encase the carotid, so the endoscopic endonasal approach cannot achieve a gross total resection [16, 17].
7.2 Part B: Anatomy andSurgical Approaches toPterygopalatine Fossa, Pterygomaxillary Fissure andInfratemporal Fossa
The pterygopalatine fossa (PPF), pterygomaxil­lary ssure (PMF) and infratemporal fossa (ITF) are continuous compartments that lie lateral to the sphenopalatine foramen with a greater wing of sphenoid forming their roof. Pterygomaxillary ssure (PMF) is a communication between the pterygopalatine fossa medially (which in turn communicate with the nasal cavity via the sphenopalatine foramen) and infratemporal fossa
(ITF) laterally. It is formed by a narrow gap between the lateral pterygoid plate and the infra­temporal surface of maxilla. The contents of PMF are third part of the maxillary artery and posterior superior alveolar nerve, artery and veins.
Infratemporal fossa is a three-dimensional space lies below the middle cranial fossa base which comprises of greater wing of the sphe­noid and squamous temporal bone. It is bounded laterally by ramus of mandible, zygomatic arch and medially by lateral pterygoid plate which has pterygomaxillary ssure connecting it to the pterygopalatine fossa. Anteriorly, it is bounded by posterior-lateral wall of maxilla with inferior orbital ssure and posteriorly with carotid sheath and styloid apparatus. Inferiorly, it com­municates with the neck (Figs. Infratemporal fossa contents lie in three planes from supercial-to-deep in the axial plane. The rst layer immediately posterior to periosteum of posterior wall of maxillary sinus consists of branches of maxillary artery. Second layer formed by various branches and anastomosis of V2 and V3 and third layer is consist of muscles of ITF.This surgical anatomy is important while dealing with the pathology of PPF and ITF (Fig.7.11) [1821].

The surgical approach to PPF and ITF can be either an endoscopic approach or an open approach. The endoscopic approach is mainly the anterior approach to ITF and suited for SPF, PPF and medial ITF which can combined with endoscopic Denker’s approach or anterior maxil­lotomy for lateral ITF pathology. Open approaches can be either anterolateral like max­illary swing and midfacial degloving or lateral like Fisch’s ITF approach C and infratemporal fossa approach D (preauricular transzygomatic approach).
7.2.1 Surgical Approach toPPF
andITF
Surgery of PPF and ITF can be done by either an endoscopic approach or by an open approach. The endoscopic approach is mainly an anterior approach to ITF and suited for SPF, PPF and Medial ITF which if combined with endoscopic Denker’s approach or maxillotomy can be used for lateral ITF pathology. Open approaches can be either anterolateral like maxillary swing and midfacial degloving or lateral like Fisch’s ITF approach C and D. Surgical approach to PPF
and ITF are decided mainly by the type of lesion, its extension and experience of the surgi­cal team.
1. Endoscopic Approach to SPA, PPF and
ITF
It is indicated for sphenopalatine artery liga­tion, maxillary artery ligation, vidian neurec­tomy, juvenile nasopharyngeal angiobroma (Fisch Stage I, II and III JNA). Schwannomas of PPF and ITF are commonly arising from the maxillary nerve and mandibular nerve, paranasal sinus tumours (non-squamous) with extension into the SPA, PPF or ITF.Temporal lobe meningo-encephalocele is extending into the infratemporal fossa. Lesions of the middle cranial skull base, which are lying (intradural/ extradural) lateral to cavernous sinus.
Contraindications of Endoscopic Approach:
Tumours are extending to the masseteric space and gingivobuccal sulcus. Large juve­nile nasopharyngeal angiobroma is receiv­ing signicant feeders from the internal carotid artery and other tumours encasing ICA. Tumours extending to the cavernous sinus, in around optic nerve and orbital apex, middle fossa and para-sellar extension are the relative contraindications.

Surgical Steps (Fig. 7.12): Endoscopic large meatal antrostomy is the rst step of the endoscopic approach as this exposes the posterior-medial wall of the max­illary sinus, which lies anterior to SPF, PPF and ITF. Wider access can be gained by a medial maxillectomy. Removal of the lower part of middle turbinate creates more space for instrumentation. This is followed by an anterior and posterior ethmoidectomy. Pathologies in the SPA, PPF and medial ITF can be accessed after removal of posterior wall of maxilla with a Kerrison’s rongeurs or drill starting from the anterior lip of SPA tak­ing care to prevent injury to the periosteum of posterior wall of maxillary sinus, as maxillary artery and its branches lie directly posterior to it. The sphenopalatine artery can be identied just posterior to cristae on the posterior part of medial wall of maxilla and maxillary artery

The maxillary artery dissection and the control is important as it is the major vascular supply to the tumours arising or located in this area. Preoperative embolization can reduce the vascularity in vascular tumours like JNA and hemangiopericytoma.
Lateral exposure of ITF by endoscope is limited by Piriform aperture, which can be removed by modied Denker’s approach or by wide anterior wall maxillotomy to gain access to the lateral compartment of ITF.Single surgeon endoscopic approach can be converted into a two surgeon 4 handed technique after making a septal window any­time during surgery for better visualization, dexterity, dissection, for controlling the ves­sels and for tumour removal. For pathology located in the middle fossa and surrounding skull base, a greater wing of sphenoid and pterygoids can be drilled to access the middle fossa above, the petrous carotid from cavern­ous sinus to lateral part of temporal bone after either displacing the maxillary artery and its branches downward and clipping it [14, 15].
Complications
Bleeding can occur intraoperatively due to injury to the maxillary artery or its branches and rarely from feeders of ICA.Injury to the nasolacrimal duct is evident after surgery with complaints of epiphora. Injury to V2, spheno­palatine ganglia can lead to dry eye and numb­ness of the face. Orbital injury can occur during dissection of tumours, dissection around orbital ssure and optic nerve can lead to visual deterioration, if the optic nerve is injured and extraocular muscle injury can lead to diplopia. CSF leak can occur from the mid­dle cranial fossa after tumour removal and repair of encephaloceles. Intracranial bleeding can also occur during tumour removal from the intradural compartment. Complications can happen due to removal of normal struc­tures like piriform aperture leading to numb­ness of the vestibular area, nasal obstruction from crusting in nasal cavity and septal perfo­ration. Postoperative epistaxis can occur lead­ing to blood loss or aspirations [
19, 22]. So,
each and every step of the procedure has to be meticulously performed and the possible com­plication has to be anticipated and avoided.
2. Open Approach to PPF and ITF
Indications
It is indicated for the tumours of ITF with extensions to masticator space, buccinators space and Zygomatic space. Malignant lesions of the maxillary sinus with ITF involvement are managed by open anterior approach. It is also advised for gross extension of lesion to middle cranial fossa through foramen rotun­dum or ovale. Parotid gland, mandible and zygomatic bone can be involved by lateral extension of ITF lesions. Inferior extension of ITF lesions into parapharyngeal space is also managed by an open approach. Jugular fora­men lesion with ITF extension is also handled by open approaches [23, 24]. Approaches for malignant lesions of the nose and PNS are mentioned in Part D (Sect. 7.4).
Contraindications
There is no absolute contraindication to the open approach to ITF as this approach can be extended or combined with other open or

endoscopic approaches for tumour removal. Being a lateral vector, this approach is not suited for lesion crossing midline to other sides like contralateral sphenoid sinus and nasopharynx. Extensive malignant tumour like squamous cell carcinoma and tumour having extensive involvement of ICA or verte­bral artery are deemed inoperable.
Surgical Steps
Open approaches to PPF and ITF are many. Most commonly performed open approaches are transmaxillary like midface degloving and maxillary swing approach which works in an anterior vector (Fig. 7.14), while commonly performed lateral approaches are preauricular transzygomatic (Fig.7.15) approach for ITF lesions and a preauricular fronto-temporal orbitozygomatic for ITF lesions having major intracranial extension.
For a preauricular transzygomatic approach, a curvilinear incision is made in the preauricu­lar region staying above the lower attachment
of tragus coursing superiorly and then anteri­orly in the frontal scalp to end superior to the supraorbital notch near the midline. Scalp inci­sion is elevated by giving incision in the super­cial layer of deep temporal fascia to prevent injury to the frontal branch of facial nerve. Temporal muscle is incised to gain exposure of zygomatic arch and lateral orbital rim in

selected cases where zygomatic arch needs removed and in more advanced case orbitozy­gomatic osteotomy is required. Combining this with pterional craniotomy, middle cranial fossa can be approached. The middle fossa skull base is drilled to expose the V2, V3 and Middle meningeal artery which can be mobilized or sacriced combining ITF and middle fossa. This approach can provide access for tumour removal medially from sphenoid sinus to cav­ernous sinus, superiorly from middle cranial fossa, laterally up to skin mandible and parot­ids, inferiorly till parapharyngeal space and lower neck if skin incision is extended below. Control of great vessels in the neck can be taken for lesions involving the petrous ICA.
Complications
Mandibular nerve needs to be sacrificed sometimes leading to hypoesthesia.
Temporomandibular joint dysfunction can occur due to drilling, leading to varying degrees of trismus. Injury to ICA can occur if vertical petrous carotid is involved by lesion, as this approach does not give access to gain control over it. Injury to facial nerve and branches can lead to facial nerve palsy [25].
Conclusion
PPF and ITF have a complex anatomy and contain many neurovascular structures and a clear understating of this anatomy is impor­tant for surgery in this area. Medial and medium-size lesions are better suited by endoscopic approach while laterally based extensive tumours are better suited by open approach. Both approaches can be combined in selected cases for complete resection of lesions (Fig.
7.16).

7.3 Part C: Pituitary Tumours andSurgical Management
Pituitary adenoma is the most common tumour of the sellar region (90–95%). The adenomas constitute 10–15% of all intracranial tumours [26]. The preoperative assessment, indication of surgery, selection of approach and postop­erative care are jointly done by neurosurgeon, otolaryngologist, neuro-radiologist, endocri­nologist and neuro-anaesthetist for a better patient outcome [27]. The presenting symp­toms are based on the type of adenoma. Except prolactinoma, surgery remains the treatment of choice. The endoscopic transnasal trans-sphe­noidal approach is the gold standard due to the panoramic view, preservation of normal func­tion and reduced hospital stay. The use of newer technologies like plasma ablation pro­vides a relatively bloodless eld. An expertise in endoscopic techniques and the ability to use angled endoscopes is required. Detailed ana­tomical knowledge is the prerequisite as the margin of error is very less. During postopera­tive monitoring in ICU, one should look out for
diabetes insipidus, CSF leak, meningitis and visual disturbance among other complications.
The endoscopic endonasal approach is the standard surgical approach for pituitary tumours; hence, it will be discussed in detail in this chap­ter. Transcranial approaches are mentioned in Part E (Sect.
7.5).
7.3.1 Anatomy
The pituitary gland is projected from inferior part of the hypothalamus and it maintains the func­tional connections via the infundibulum (pituitary stalk). The gland has an anterior lobe called adeno­hypophysis derived from the ectoderm of Rathke's pouch and a posterior lobe called neurohypophysis derived from neuroectoderm prosencephalon. The intermediate lobe is rudimentary in humans and degenerates after birth. The gland resides in the sella turcica and is covered by diaphragmatic sella (dural fold). Laterally it is bound by cavernous sinus and its contents (ICA, CN III, IV, V1,V2 VI) and anterior and inferiorly by the sphenoid sinus (Fig.7.17).
