Comment on "Endoscopic endonasal versus transcranial approaches for trigeminal schwannomas", - the emerging role of the endoscopic transorbital approach.

We read with great interest the article by Pan et al.: "Endosco-pic endonasal versus transcranial approaches for trigeminal schwannomas: choosing the optimal surgical corridor based on tumour traits," recently published in Rhinology (1). The authors provide a valuable trait-based framework comparing endosco-pic endonasal (EEA) (trans-meckel's cave, transclival, trans-lamina papyracea, and trans-prelacrimal recess approaches) and transcranial approaches (TCA) (intra/extradural subtemporal with or without anterior petrosectomy, Kawase, and zygoma-tic middle fossa approach) in the management of trigeminal schwannomas (TS), according to the Samii's classification (2).
