 | Couldwell, William T. | Combined transmastoid retro- and infralabyrinthine transjugular transcondylar transtubercular high cervical approach for resection of glomus jugulare tumors | COMPLEX TUMORS OF the glomus jugulare present a surgical challenge because of their difficult location, extreme vascularity, and involvement with multiple cranial nerves. Modern microneurosurgical and cranial base techniques have enabled safe total removal of these complicated tumors. We describe a ... | Cranial base approach; Surgical approach; Glomus jugulare tumor; Jugular foramen exposure; Microsurgical anatomy | 2006 |

 | Couldwell, William T. | Cosmetic mastoidectomy for the combined supra/infratentorial transtemporal approach | The authors describe a cosmetic mastoidectomy technique for use when performing a combined supra/ infratentorial craniotomy and transtemporal exposure. The technique involves a single temporal suboccipital bone flap and cosmetic mastoidectomy, removing the outer table of bone for later replacement... | Surgical approach; Supratentorial approach; Infratentorial approach; Petroclival meningiomas | 1993 |

 | Kestle, John R. W.; Brockmeyer, Douglas Lee | Cranial base strategies for resection of craniopharyngioma in children | The optimal treatment of craniopharyngioma in children remains a challenge. The use of complete excision to minimize recurrence continues to be controversial because of the risk of postoperative morbidity and death. Advances in skull base approaches, modern microsurgical techniques, neuroimaging, an... | Craniopharyngioma; Surgical approach; Skull base surgery | 2005 |

 | Couldwell, William T. | Increasing exposure of the petrous internal carotid artery for revascularization using the transzygomatic extended middle fossa approach: a cadaveric morphometric study | When internal carotid artery (ICA) sacrifice is planned in the management of difficult tumors or aneurysms at the cranial base, the petrous ICA may be a useful site for anastomosis for interpositional vascular bypass. However, exposure of the artery and performing an anastomosis in this region may... | Revascularization; Internal carotid artery; Cranial base tumors; Giant aneurysms; Interpositional bypass; Surgical approach; Middle fossa | 2006 |

 | Couldwell, William T. | Submandibular-infratemporal interpositional carotid artery bypass for cranial base tumors and giant aneurysms | Cerebral revascularization is an important strategy in the surgical management of some complex cranial base tumors and unclippable aneurysms. A highflow bypass may be necessary in planned carotid occlusion or sacrifice. The cervical-to-supraclinoid internal carotid artery bypass or cervical carotid-... | Internal carotid artery; Cranial base tumors; Giant aneurysms; Interpositional bypass; Surgical approach; Radial artery; Revascularization; Saphenous vein; Submandibular infratemporal bypass | 2006 |

 | Couldwell, William T. | Surgical approaches to petroclival meningiomas part I: upper and midclival approaches | Strictly considered, petroclival meningiomas represent only a percentage of the 10% of all intracranial meningiomas that reside in the posterior fossa. Although not statistically frequent, with their location in proximity to cranial nerves, the basilar artery and its perforating branches, and t... | Petroclival meningiomas; Petroclivus; Surgical approach; Upper clivus; Midclivus | 1994 |

 | Couldwell, William T. | Surgical approaches to petroclival meningiomas Part II: extended approaches | In Part I, the classification, clinical presentation, and upper and midclival surgical approaches were discussed. This lesson covers extended surgical approaches, results, complications, and adjuvant therapy. | Petroclival meningiomas; Petroclivus; Surgical approach; Staged surgery; Complications; Adjuvant therapy; Radiosurgery; Resections | 1994 |
