ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The anterior transpetrosal approach (ATPA) is a cranial base approach for addressing upper petroclival or lateral pontine lesions. It is fundamentally an epidural procedure involving the drilling of the petrous apex. However, this approach has significant procedure-related morbidity, and the surgeon must perform a complete petrosectomy, as the intradural structures are not in view during the drilling. For selected cases, a rationale exists for choosing a tailor-made intradural anterior petrosectomy (IAP).METHOD:
This article describes the relevant surgical anatomy and the different surgical steps of the IAP.CONCLUSION:
IAP represents a feasible alternative to the standard ATPA with the advantage of minimizing the extent of petrous bone removal to the individual need.Palabras clave
