The cavernous sinus region is no more considered no-man’s land. Our in-depth knowledge of the normal
and pathologic anatomy opened the door to effective and safe resection of cavernous sinus pathologies.
In addition, the cavernous sinus can be used as a route to more safely treat lesions previously considereduntreatable or unsafe to reach. This includes basilar apex aneurysms and interpeduncular region tumors(ex: hypothalamic, gliomas, epidermoid, etc.) as well as pontine and pre-pontine pathologies (pontinetumors, basilar trunk aneurysms, petroclival meningiomas, etc.)In conclusion, cavernous sinus surgery, nowadays is considered a routine surgery in our practice.
