Endoscopic endonasal approach for mass resection of the pterygopalatine fossa

Clinics; 72 (9), 2017
OBJECTIVES: Access to the pterygopalatine fossa is very difficult due to its complex anatomy. Therefore, an open approach is traditionally used, but morbidity is unavoidable. To overcome this problem, an endoscopic endonasal approach was developed as a minimally invasive procedure. The surgical aim of th...

Anatomical parameters of the rectus capitis posterior minor muscle based on a new magnetic resonance scan method

Int. j. morphol; 35 (3), 2017
The past findings confirm that the Rectus Capitis Posterior minor (RCPmi) is connected to the cervical spinal dura mater via the Myodural Bridge (MDB) through the posterior antlanto-occipital interspace. It is hypothesized to perform some functions. Furthermore, some clinical studies found that the patho...
