Abstract
The parasellar region is the location of a wide variety of inflammatory and benign or malignant lesions. A pathological diagnostic strategy may be difficult to establish relying solely on imaging data. Percutaneous biopsy through the foramen ovale using the Hartel technique has been developed for decision-making process. It is an accurate diagnostic tool allowing pathological diagnosis to determine the best treatment strategy. However, in some cases, this procedure may fail or may be inappropriate particularly for anterior parasellar lesions. Over these past decades, endoscopy has been widely developed and promoted in many indications. It represents an interesting alternative approach to parasellar lesions with low morbidity when compared to the classic microscopic sub-temporal extradural approach with or without orbito-zygomatic removal. In this chapter, we describe our experience with the endoscopic approach to parasellar lesions. We propose a complete overview of surgical anatomy and describe methods and results of the technique. We also suggest a model of a decision-making tree for the diagnosis and treatment of parasellar lesions.
