ABSTRACT
The sellar contents are separated from the sphenoidal sinus by a tiny sheath of bone that compris es the sellar floor, making the transsphenoidal approach the most used surgical route to intrasellar lesions. The transsphenoidal approach can be initiated in three different ways 1) cutting the mucosa over the alveolar part of maxilla (sublabial transsphenoidal), 2) cutting long the anterior nasal mucosa adjacent to the columella (transeptal transsphenoidal), and 3) cutting the mucosa over the sphenoidal rostrum (endonasal transsphenoidal). Each cavernous sinus has four dural walls. The lateral, superior and posterior walls are composed of endosteal and periosteal dura leaflets. Unlike the other dural walls, the medial wall is formed of a single, thin dural sheath, an anatomical fact that help explains the lateral expansion of a pituitary adenoma. In the center, the diaphragm sellae has an opening through which the infundibulum courses, linking the pituitary gland to the floor of the third ventricle. The morphology of this opening is quite variable among individuals. On average, the anteroposterior distance of the diaphragm opening was 7.26 mm + 1.99 mm, varying from 3.4 mm up to 10.7 mm. The lateral distance of the diaphragm opening was 7.33 mm + 2.79 mm, varying from 2.8 mm up to 14.1 mm.
RESUMEN
Los contenidos de la silla turca se encuentran separados del seno esfenoidal por una delgada lámina de hueso que es el piso selar, haciendo que la vía transesfenoidal sea la ruta quirúrgica más utilizada para lesiones intraselares. El abordaje transesfenoidal puede ser iniciado de tres diferentes maneras 1) cortando la mucosa sobre la parte alveolar del maxilar superior (sublabial transesfenoidal), 2) cortando la mucosa nasal anterior, adyacente a la columena (transseptal transesfenoidal), y 3) cortando la mucosa sobre el rostro del esfenoides (endonasal transesfenoidal). Cada seno cavernoso tiene 4 paredes urales. Las paredes lateral, superior y posterior están compuestas por dos hojas (endosteal y perióstica), mientras que la pared medial posee una sola hoja dural, muy delgada, un hecho anatómico que podría explicar la expansión lateral de los adenomas hipofisarios. En el centro, el diafragma selar tiene una abertura a través de la cual el infundíbulo transcurre, uniendo la glándula pituitaria con el tercer ventrículo. La morfología de dicha abertura es muy variable. En promedio, la distancia anteroposterior de la abertura es de 7.26 mm + 1.99 mm, variando desde 3.4 mm hasta 10.7 mm. La distancia lateral de la abertura del diafragma es de 7.33 mm + 2.79 mm, variando desde 2.8 mm hasta 14.1 mm.
