Objective: The value of endoscopic versus microsurgical approach has not yet been defined in transsphenoidal pituitary adenoma surgery. In this study, we compare both methods and analyze the long-term surgical, radiological, endocrinological, ophthalmological, and rhinological results as well as the patients' quality of life.
Methods: A total of 33 individuals with elective transsphenoidal pituitary adenoma surgery were randomized (pure endoscopic approach or endoscope-assisted microscopic approach) and prospectively underwent investigations with a focus on patient-related subjective outcome measurements.

In recent times, the supraorbital approach via eyebrow incision has gained tremendous popularity in targeting the anterior skull base and few middle cranial fossa lesions, over the more traditional pterional and frontotemporal approaches. However, the extremely narrow viewing angle through this approach requires frequent adjustments of the operating table and microscope for optimal visualization. Illumination via such a small opening in such deep-seated location was another limiting factor.

Objective: Craniopharyngiomas originate from squamous epithelium in the pituitary stalk, tend to expand into surrounding tissues, and have high recurrence rates when residual tumor remains. Therefore, gross total resection should be the goal at initial surgery. Yaşargil described the combined approach, involving both anterior interhemispheric transcallosal transforaminal and pterional transsylvian approaches in the same session for intra-extraventricular and pure intraventricular craniopharyngiomas.

Objective: The objective of this study was to demonstrate that trigeminal schwannomas (TSchs) located in different cranial fossae can be resected entirely through Meckel's cave which is expanded by the tumor by taking either an endoscope-assisted pterional epidural approach (EA-PEA) or an endoscope-assisted lateral suboccipital retrosigmoid approach (EA-LSRA). Additionally, we describe a modified classification based on Jefferson's system to determine the surgical approach.
Methods: This is a retrospective study of 19 patients with TSchs in different cranial fossae who underwent EA-PEA or EA-LSRA.

Introduction And Importance: Eagle's syndrome is a rare condition associated with the elongation of the styloid process or calcification of the stylohyoid ligament; it is clinically characterized by unexplained referred pain that radiates into the mandible, ear, and throat, often misdiagnosed as various cervicocraniofacial disorders.
Case Presentation: A 38-year-old male presented with severe, unexplained neuralgic pain that persisted for about two months. The pain worsened with patient neck movements, and some relief was achieved only through lidocaine injections in the tonsillar bed.
