ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Direct access to the sphenoid lateral recess offers the best chance of sealing spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea caused by lateral sphenoid encephaloceles of the Sternberg canal defect.METHOD:
We present a case of spontaneous left-sided sphenoid lateral recess CSF leak after previous unsuccessful transcranial surgery managed with an endoscopic endonasal transpterygoid approach (EETA). An anatomical-based step-by-step illustration of the EETA was presented in the surgical video.CONCLUSION:
This case demonstrates the value of endoscopic endonasal transpterygoid corridor in the exposure and manipulation of the sphenoid lateral recess.Key words
