Extradural anterior clinoidectomy is a versatile technique to increase exposure of the sellar and parasellar region. It is of particular use in the resection of clinoidal meningiomas, as sphenoidal and clinoidal hyperostosis can cause compression of the optic nerve. Extradural clinoidectomy follows a series of steps, consisting of (1) unroofing of the superior orbital fissure, (2) unroofing of the optic canal, (3) removal of the optic strut, and (4) removal of the anterior clinoid process. The authors show these steps in detail, as well as their application to the resection of a large clinoidal meningioma. The video can be found here: https://youtu.be/O1Fcef29ETg .

Background: Endoscopic endonasal posterior clinoidectomy represents an important maneuver to improve access and visualization of the retrosellar and upper clivus area [1]. Three different techniques have been described in order to access and remove the posterior clinoid: 1) the intradural pituitary transposition [2], the interdural pituitary transposition [3] and a completely extradural technique [4].
Case Description: We present here a case of retrosellar and retroclival chordoma that has been removed through endoscopic endonasal approach.

Article Synopsis
- Ventral wall ICA aneurysms are challenging to treat due to their location near the anterior clinoid process and the complexities of preserving the ophthalmic artery and ICA during surgery.!
- A case study of a 38-year-old patient used the Dolenc approach to address this type of aneurysm.!
- The method of tailored dural peeling and extradural anterior clinoidectomy enhances access and control over the aneurysm, improving the chances of successful clipping.!
Extended transcavernous posterior clinoidectomy in endoscopic endonasal surgery.

Objective: Mastery of the posterior clinoidectomy technique is of utmost importance for neurosurgeons who specialize in endoscopic endonasal approaches, because the posterior clinoid process (PCP) is commonly involved in chondroid tumor resection. Three main techniques for posterior clinoidectomy have been developed: intradural, extradural, and transcavernous interdural. The authors introduce here a novel technical variant in which the transcavernous approach is extended to the dorsal clinoidal space after transection of the caroticoclinoid ligament, and they elaborate on its clinical application on the basis of anatomical dissections and radiological studies.
