Abstract

A surgical approach to the skull base is described. It allows excellent exposure of the cranial base with minimal brain retraction. This approach is most suitable for large lesions in the parasellar and retrosellar areas and for those that extend into the cavernous sinus, along the tentorial notch. The infratemporal approach with section of the zygomatic arch.
