In the study and practice of neurosurgery at the "Federico II" University of Naples, a central role has always been reserved for anatomy. Based on worldwide cooperation, the meaning of anatomical research has evolved from methodological investigation to an educational and communication tool. The contribution of our school to the anatomical data on the sellar region has been chronologically reviewed in the present report. The path that brought us to focus on the endoscopic endonasal anatomy has been presented, together with the evolution of anatomical investigation. The confidence achieved with decades of cadaveric laboratory studies has changed the profile of our anatomical investigations. The quantification and comparison became essential in these studies owing to their effect on surgical application and advanced imaging techniques entered the field of anatomical dissection. Anatomy at our school is an evolving science. Our efforts in anatomical scientific publications and organization of participatory courses have made us a center of reference for endoscopic endonasal surgery and have allowed us to share our knowledge with other specialists in this field.

Unlabelled: Intracranial complications in inflammatory diseases of the ear and nose are currently not frequent, but their lethality remains high. The choice of optimal, safe and effective access in surgical treatment of purulent-inflammatory intracranial complications remains a subject of discussions and is based on an individual approach, depends on the volume, localization and clinical condition of the patient.
Objective: To demonstrate a clinical case of successful drainage of the brain frontal lobe abscess using endoscopic transnasal access under the control of the navigation system.

Objective: This study aims to summarize the clinical characteristics of skull base osteoradionecrosis (ORN) with the internal carotid artery (ICA) involvement and to distill the key surgical techniques that can enhance the protective measures for ICA.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective, observational study over a six-year period from February 2017 to May 2023. We included patients who were diagnosed with osteoradionecrosis with invasion of the internal carotid artery and collected their demographic information, pathology results, complication rates, ect.

Rapid diagnosis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks is critical as endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery gains global prominence. Current clinical methods such as endoscopic examination with and without intrathecal injection of fluorescent dye are invasive and rely on subjective judgment by physicians, highlighting the clinical need for label-free point-of-care (POC). However, a viable solution remains undeveloped due to the molecular complexity of CSF rhinorrhea mixed with nasal discharge and the scarcity of specific biomarkers, delaying sensor development.
