INTRODUCTION: Surgical anterior decompression is the treatment of choice for symptomatic irreducible ventral craniovertebral junction (CVJ) compression. Along with the classic transoral approach, the endoscopic endonasal approach has evolved and is gaining growing success.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this work we discuss the surgical technique, give a complete step-by-step description of dissection of the craniovertebral junction and report a specific case of endoscopic endonasal odontoidectomy with use of a high-definition (HD) three-dimensional (3D) endoscope.
DISCUSSION: The extended endonasal approach exploits an anatomical corridor to the odontoid process, involving only a small incision in the nasopharynx and sparing palate integrity. The most important limitation of the technique is 2D visualization, which hinders correct recognition of anatomical structures.
CONCLUSION: The endoscopic endonasal route to the odontoid process has proven to be a feasible, safe and well-tolerated procedure. Anatomical study is very important for better understanding of the 3D anatomy of the CVJ and relation of critical neurovascular structures to specific bony and muscular landmarks.
