Atlas of Endoscopic Anatomy for Endonasal Intracranial Surgery
Paolo Cappabianca, Alessandra Alfieri, Enrico de Divitiis, Manfred Tschabitscherreinforcement are just a few to mention. Endoscopic images will be one of those types of images that surgeons will operate under. Although endoscope has been used in neurosurgical practice for almost a century, its use has been generally confined to the cerebral ventricular system, mainly due to the basic requirement of endoscopy that demands a hollow cavity for an operation. It is only recently that the use of endoscope in neurosurgery has been extended beyond the ventricular system. Rhinologic application of endoscopy into the paranasal sinus had shed a light on endonasal neuroendoscopy when an endonasal surgical corridor can be utilized in neurosurgical practice. It is just the beginning for neurosurgeons in their exploration of surgical ventures through the endonasal route utilizing endoscopic visualization.
