简介
Purpose
This paper outlines the perspectives of transoral craniosurgery for anterior craniovertebral junction (CVJ) compressive abnormalities in the specific subset of paediatric patients. In particular we analyzed the opportunity for endoscopic video-assisted approach to the CVJ along with neuronavigation for anterior decompression by the transoral approach in paediatric patients.
Methods
Among 30 patients ranging 6–78 years undergoing CVJ decompressive procedures, we operated transorally 3 paediatric patients (ranging 11–15 years) by using open access, microsurgical technique, neuronavigation, and endoscopy.
Results
The microscope was the main stone of the transoral procedure; a complete CVJ decompression was accomplished in all the cases by using the 30-degree endoscope that allowed to identify …
