Endoscopic Endonasal Transrotundum Middle Fossa Exposure: Technique of Transpterygoid Maxillary Nerve Transposition

World Neurosurg. (2018) 112:131-137

Middle fossa floor access can be challenging. Open skull base approaches have associated morbidity and yield suboptimal working angles around the temporal lobe. Endoscopic endonasal approaches to the middle fossa are poorly described, but provide an improved angle. I hypothesized that the length of the maxillary nerve can be transposed out of the foramen…
