BACKGROUND: There is a paucity of data in the literature describing quantitative exposure of the ventral craniocervical junction through the endonasal corridor in a safe manner mindful of locoregional anatomy.
OBJECTIVE: To quantify ventromedial exposure of O-C1 and C1-2 articular structures after turning an inverted U-shaped nasopharyngeal flap (IUNF) and to obtain measurements assessing the distance of flap margins to adjacent neurovascular structures.
METHODS: In 8 cadaveric specimens, an IUNF was fashioned using a superior incision below the level of the pharyngeal tubercule of the clivus and lateral incisions in the approximate region of Rosenmuller fossae bilaterally. Measurements with calipers and/or neuronavigation software included flap dimensions, exposure of O-C1 and C1-2 articular structures, inferior reach of IUNF, and proximity of the internal carotid artery (ICA) and hypoglossal nerve to IUNF margins.
RESULTS: The IUNF facilitated exposure of an average of 9 mm of the medial surfaces of the right/left O-C1 joints without transgression of the carotid arteries or hypoglossal nerves. The C1-2 articulation could not be routinely accessed. The margins of the IUNF were not in close (<5 mm) proximity to the ICA in any of the 8 specimens. In 6 of 8 specimens, the dimensions of the IUNF were in close (<5 mm) horizontal or vertical proximity to the hypoglossal foramina.
CONCLUSION: The IUNF provided safe and reliable access to the medial O-C1 articulation. Given the close proximity of the exocranial hypoglossal foramen, neuronavigation assistance and neuromonitoring with attention to the superolateral IUNF margin are recommended.
