ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Petroclival lesions are among the most complex to address in skull base surgery, being closely related to critical neurovascular structures and brainstem. The combined petrosectomy allows a wide exposure of large petroclival lesions with short working distance and provides multiple angles of attack, while limiting brain retraction.METHOD:
We describe in a step-wise fashion the surgical steps of the combined petrosectomy.CONCLUSION:
Combined petrosectomy with posterior transposition of the transverse-sigmoid sinus provides a wide surgical corridor to the ventral brainstem, middle and upper clivus, and infra-retrochiasmatic region.Palavras-chave
