The implications of microsurgical anatomy for surgical approaches to the sellar region

Zeitschrift:: Pituitary > Ausgabe 4/2009

Autoren:: Gustavo Rassier Isolan, Paulo Henrique Pires de Aguiar, Edward R. Laws, Atahualpa Cauê Paim Strapasson, Otávio Piltcher

Abstract

The knowledge of the normal anatomy and variations regarding the management of tumors of the sellar region is paramount to perform safe surgical procedures. The sellar region is located in the center of the middle cranial fossa; it contains complex anatomical structures, and is the site of various pathological processes: tumor, vascular, developmental, and neuroendocrine. We review the microsurgical anatomy (microscopic and endoscopic) of this region and discuss the surgical nuances regarding this topic, based on anatomical concepts.
