Abstract

Sellar and parasellar tumors are generally remain a neurosurgical challenge due their complexity and the lack of a standardized approach. The sellar area is an anatomically complex area in the center of the middle cranial fossa representing a crucial cross-road of important adjacent structures. Several approaches to the sellar and parasellar regions are popular among neurosurgeons; those are the pterional (frontotemporal), frontolateral, uni- or bi-frontal, supraorbital keyhole and the trans-sphenoidal approach and their modifications. All of these approaches have their pros and cons. The recent devolvement of the endoscopic instruments and optics can help to use both pure endoscopic procedure in endonasal approach and the endoscopic assistance in the supraorbital kehole approach. We have discussed both approaches to access sellar and parasellar tumors.
