Description

The pterional approach is arguably the most popular surgical approach for neurosurgeons. Therefore, we should understand and experience this approach properly. The other surgical approaches can be learned readily once this approach is mastered. The principle aspect of the pterional approach is an appropriate exposure of the parasellar area without damaging the brain and vessels. There are various surgical options based on the primary disease and patterns of the sylvian veins. We will discuss about methods for widening the pterional approach, including manipulation of the sylvian vein and sphenoparietal sinus, the temporopolar approach, optic unroofing, anterior clinoidectomy, resection of the tuberculum sellae, and section of the dural ring.
