Endoscopic Endonasal Approach to the Third Ventricle using the Corridor of the Reverse Third Ventriculostomy: anatomo-surgical nuances
Conclusion: The third ventricle can safely be accessed through ERTV either above or below the pituitary gland. ERTV provides a wide exposure of the third ventricle through the tuber cinereum and offers access to the anterior part as far as the anterior commissure and pre-commissural part of fornix and the whole length of the posterior part. Endoscopic ERTV may be a suitable alternative to transcranial approaches to access the third ventricle in selected patients.

Anatomical Parameters and Growth of the Pediatric Skull Base: Endonasal Access Implications
Conclusion The process of skull base development is age and sex dependent. During preoperative evaluation of pediatric patients for skull base surgery piriform aperture width, sphenoid pneumatization in both the anterior posterior and lateral directions, and ICD at the cavernous sinus should be carefully reviewed.

The Endoscopic-Assisted Supraorbital Approach for Resection of Anterior Skull Base Meningiomas: A Large Single-Center Retrospective Surgical Study
Conclusion The eSOA represents an effective option for ASBM resection, enabling high complete resection rates and long-term disease control. Neuroendoscopy is fundamental for improving tumor resection while reducing brain and optic nerve retraction. Potential limitations and prolonged surgical duration may arise from the small craniotomy and reduced maneuverability, especially for large or strongly adherent lesions.

Predictive Factors for Postoperative Opioid Use in Elective Skull Base Craniotomies
Conclusion Younger age, history of anxiety or depression, preoperative opioid consumption, preexisting history of migraines, and significant intraoperative muscle dissection were associated with higher postoperative opioid consumption. These risk factors provide insight on potential targets for minimizing postoperative opioids in craniotomies.
