Abstract
|
|
|
|
The subfrontal interhemispheric approach offers safe access to lesions at anterior cranial fossa, including tumors like suprasellar craniopharyngiomas and meningiomas, and vascular diseases like anterior communicating artery or distal anterior cerebral artery aneurysms. Anatomic preservation of the pituitary stalk, hypothalamic structure, perforating vessels, anterior communicating complex, the visual pathway, and the olfactory nerves is often possible. This article describes traditional and modified versions of subfrontal interhemispheric approach from skin incision through dissection to closure. And the authors also describes merits, handicaps and possible complications of this approach.
