The Paraclinoid Region:Fundamentals for Every Surgeon

The anatomic facts: Rhoton’s Canon Implications for paraclinoid aneurysms

Implications for surgical approach Maximalist versus minimalist strategies

A personal philosophy

The Anatomic Facts: Rhoton’s Canon

Segments of the internal carotid artery (ICA) Unique anatomic features of the C5-6

Anatomy as the surgeon’s safeguard Ease of approach Vascular control Maximize safety Maximize exposure,

maneuverability Maximize

effectiveness

Implications for Paraclinoid Aneurysms

The ophthalmic aneurysm

The superior hypophyseal aneurysm (extradural versus carotid cave)

The ventral paraclinoid aneurysm (transitional versus intradural)

Maximalist vs. Minimalist Strategies

Adaptation of conventional approaches Maximalist skull base approaches

Minimalist (keyhole, endoscopic assisted or controlled)

Focused strategies
