DOI: 10.1007/s00701-022-05199-6
Abstract: Facial nerve schwannomas can extend to the middle fossa or the cerebellopontine angle through the labyrinthine and cisternal segments of the facial nerve. The middle fossa approach (MFA) and its extensions provide a wide approach… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2018.01.120
Abstract: OBJECTIVE Middle fossa floor access can be challenging. Open skull base approaches have associated morbidity and yield suboptimal working angles around the temporal lobe. Endoscopic endonasal approaches to the middle fossa are poorly described, but… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2019.09.114
Abstract: OBJECTIVE The middle fossa craniotomy for tegmen defect repair provides wide access. This approach often requires temporal lobe manipulation, lumbar drain placement, and longer recovery. We describe a keyhole middle fossa approach with a simple… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2020.05.269
Abstract: BACKGROUND Spontaneous otogenic pneumocephalus is a rare condition, caused by erosion of the tegmen tympani with subsequent entrance of air into the intracranial space. Its pathogenesis is thought to involve a previous state of intracranial… read more here.

DOI: 10.1055/s-0036-1582266
Abstract: Introduction Middle fossa approach has been suggested as an alternative for patients in whom other routes of electrode insertion are contraindicated. Even though there are temporal bone studies about the feasibility of introducing the cochlear implant… read more here.
