Morphometric analysis demonstrates anatomical variability of skull base landmarks on computed tomography, highlighting parameters for safer endoscopic surgery.
Endoscopic skull base surgery requires a thorough understanding of skull base anatomy. Orientation to regional anatomy to avoid complications like internal carotid artery injury can be assisted by knowledge of certain bony landmarks. These landmarks are themselves highly variable structures. This study focuses on the radiological morphometric characterization of these landmarks, which can be of great assistance to surgeons for better planning of endoscopic skull base approaches.
