BACKGROUND: The deep location of infratemporal fossa (ITF) combined with the abundant vascular plexus in it increased the difficulty of removing the mass in ITF through endoscope surgery approach. However, under appropriate circumstances, the excision of ITF tumors through a combined prelacrimal recess, Caldwell-Luc, and distal intraoral approach can be safely performed with minimal impact on the surrounding tissues.
CASE PRESENTATION: The Department of Neurology received a 69-year-old male patient who had been experiencing headache, dizziness, and numbness from the mastoid region of his left ear to the corner of his mouth for a duration of 22 days. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging revealed the presence of a tumor located in the ITF. Following transfer to our department, surgical intervention was performed using a combined approach involving the prelacrimal recess, the anterior wall of maxillary sinus, and lateral ITF to successfully remove the tumor. Postoperative pathologic examination confirmed schwannoma as its nature. The patient was discharged in excellent condition without any functional impairment.
CONCLUSIONS: On the basis of this case, the authors believe that this combined approach can offer a distinct endoscopic perspective and adequate surgical workspace, which is crucial for tumor removal while preserving the integrity of surrounding normal tissues. Moreover, the utilization of multiple small incisions has minimal impact on postoperative recovery.
