High-Resolution CT Imaging of the Temporal Bone: A Cadaveric Specimen Study
Conclusion Super-high-resolution and ultra-high-resolution CT imaging results in significant improvement in image quality compared with normal-resolution and high-resolution CT imaging of the temporal bone. This preliminary study also demonstrates equivalency between super-high and ultra-high spatial resolution temporal bone CT imaging protocols for clinical use.

Modified Skin Incision and Location of Burr-Hole Surgery via a Retrosigmoid Approach: An Anatomical Study
Conclusion The sickle-shaped skin incision of the retrosigmoid approach can reduce the tissue damage and can completely expose the structures in the cerebellopontine angle. The modified O point is a more reliable locating point for a burr-hole surgery than the Ast point.

Interpretable Machine Learning –Based Prediction of Intraoperative Cerebrospinal Fluid Leakage in Endoscopic Transsphenoidal Pituitary Surgery: A Pilot Study
Conclusion A RF model that reliably identifies patients at risk for IOL was successfully trained and internally validated. ML-based prediction models can predict events that were previously judged nearly unpredictable; their deployment in clinical practice may result in improved patient care and reduced postoperative morbidity and healthcare costs.

Comparative Analysis of Surgical Exposure among Endoscopic Endonasal Approaches to Petrosectomy: An Experimental Study in Cadavers
Conclusion Each of these approaches offers varying degrees of access to the petroclival region, and the surgical approach should be appropriately tailored to the pathology. Overall, the IMP technique provides greater EEA surgical exposure to vital neurovascular structures than the MP and the IP techniques.

Subtemporal Approach and Its Infratentorial Extension: Review and a Comparative Analysis of Different Techniques
Conclusion Infratentorial extension of the intradural subtemporal approach is technically demanding due to critical neurovascular structures and a relatively narrow corridor. In-depth anatomical knowledge is essential for the selection of the appropriate operative approach and safe surgical resections of lesions.

Impact of Treatment Modalities upon Survival Outcomes in Skull Base and Clival Chordoma: An NCDB Analysis
Conclusion Surgery remains the mainstay of therapy. Advanced age (>65 years), large tumor size, and government insurance were predictors of worse OS. Whereas negative margins and the use of adjuvant radiation did not appear to impact OS, these may very well reduce local recurrences. A multidisciplinary approach is critical in achieving optimal outcomes in this challenging disease.

Anterior Skull Base Meningioma: Surgical Approach and Complication Avoidance
Conclusion No single approach is applicable to all ASBMs. TCA is still the best approach to obtain GTR but has tissue trauma-related problems. SOKHA may be a good alternative to TCA in selected PSM-TSMs, while EEA may be an alternate option in some OGMs. A meticulous patient selection is needed to derive reported results of EEA for PSM-TSM.

Sinonasal Neuroendocrine Carcinoma: 15 Years of Experience at a Single Institution
Conclusion?This cohort has a higher overall rate of survival than many recent case series and reviews. There is consensus that multimodal therapy is preferred over monotherapy, but approaches to treatment vary widely. Our approach of surgical resection as primary therapy for low-grade tumors and primary CRT for high-grade SNEC has been successful, and could indicate hope for improved survival among these patients.

Surgical strategy for squamous cell carcinoma of the external auditory canal: management of locally advanced cases with skull base involvement
Conclusion The present study focused on patients with SCC of the EAC at a University hospital over a period of 20-years, especially with skull base involvement, and a T4-subclassification was proposed. Complete tumor resection in an en bloc fashion could help to achieve a good survival rate even in patients with locally advanced tumors.

Dispersed Bone Spicules as a Cause of Postoperative Headache after Retrosigmoid Vestibular Schwannoma Surgery: A Myth?

Effects of Modified Osteoplastic Pterional Craniotomy on Temporal Muscle Volume and Frontal Muscle Nerve Function
Conclusion Modified osteoplastic pterional craniotomy significantly reduced atrophy of temporal muscle and caused proportionally less frontal muscle nerve damage compared with pterional craniotomy, although this latter outcome was not significant. These findings suggest that osteoplastic craniotomy may be a more advantageous intervention in cosmetic and functional terms compared with classical pterional craniotomy.

Factors Related to the Delayed Cure of Hemifacial Spasm after Microvascular Decompression: An Analysis of 175 Consecutive Patients
J Neurol Surg B Skull Base DOI: 10.1055/s-0041-1740970Detailed studies assessing the factors related to delayed cure of hemifacial spasm (HFS) after microvascular decompression (MVD) are sparse. We aimed to evaluate the effect of 11 clinical factors on the time until the patient became spasm free after MVD. We enrolled 175 consecutive patients with HFS who underwent MVD between 2012 and 2018. The end point was defined as the time point at which the patient became spasm free based on the outpatient interview. Patients were divided into six groups depending on when they became spasm free after the operation, as follows: <...

Volumetric Resection and Complications in Nonfunctioning Pituitary Adenoma by Fully Endoscopic Transsphenoidal Approach along 15 Years of Single-Center Experience
Conclusions The first 33 interventions were associated with a lower EOR, a high volume of residual tumor, a high reoperation rate, and a higher rate of hormonal dysfunction. We did not find differences in terms of postoperative complications and the visual status at 6-month follow-up.

Impact of Race, Ethnicity, and Socioeconomic Status on Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Disease-Specific and Conditional Survival
Conclusion Our results indicate that race, ethnicity, and SES significantly affect survival, stage at diagnosis, and treatment of NPC. An interplay of tumor biology and inequalities in access to care likely drives these disparities.

Outcomes In Pediatric Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery: A Systematic Review
Conclusions: Endoscopic skull base surgery has been performed recently in the pediatric population in a variety of disease states. Inconsistent individual-level data and reporting standards are present in existing studies posing challenges for comparative analysis. Standardized reporting will aid future reviews and meta-analysis for rare skull base pathology.
