Introduction Since the early use of the endoscopic view for treating simple intrasellar
pituitary adenomas, the skull base surgery has experienced an unprecedented revolution …

The transoral approach is considered the gold-standard surgical route for performing
anterior odontoidectomy and ventral decompression of the craniovertebral junction for …

OBJECT The endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) provides a minimally invasive corridor
through which the cervicomedullary junction can be decompressed with reduced morbidity …

The craniovertebral junction (CVJ) is a complex transition area between the skull and
