Abstract:

Modern achievements in endoscopic technologies ensure extending the indications for endoscopic transnasal approach in skull base surgery. Knowledge on topographic anatomy of craniovertebral junction is a prerequisite for surgical interventions in this area. Transnasal endoscopic surgery of craniovertebral junction is a relatively new field. Therefore, this manuscript and similar anatomical studies are extremely important for neurosurgeons.

Keywords:

craniovertebral junction
endoscopic transnasal surgery
