Unlocking the cavernous sinus from above and below: Surgical anatomy and techniques
1108 15:05-15:15
Skull Base/304A
The cavernous sinus is one of the most challenging regions of the skull base. Understanding its complex anatomy is key for selection of surgical approaches and maximal safe resection. In this presentation, we will review the surgical anatomy nuances of this regions with use of high quality anatomical dissections and discuss the roles of open and endoscopic approaches and techniques for management of tumors in this region. Clinical cases will be demonstrated to highlight the application of surgical anatomy to maximize safe surgical resection of tumors in this region.
Chordomas and chondrosarcomas: Surgical anatomy and tecniques
1108 13:00-13:10
Skull Base/304A
Chordomas and Chondrosarcomas are malignant skull base tumors affecting most commonly the clivus and petroclival region, respectively. In this presentation, we will review the surgical anatomy nuances of these regions with use of high quality anatomical dissections and discuss the roles of open and endoscopic approaches and techniques for management of tumors in this region. Clinical cases will be demonstrated to high the application of surgical anatomy to maximize safe surgical resection of those tumors.
