    Identification of internal acoustic canal in the middle cranial fossa approach: A safe technique
    (Mosby, Inc, 2001) Cokkeser, Y; Aristegui, M; Naguib, MB; Saleh, E; Taibah, AK; Sanna, M
    BACKGROUND: The middle cranial fossa approach (MCFA) is a very valuable functional approach in the armamentarium of the neuro-otologic surgeon. Identification of the internal acoustic canal (IAC) in MCFA is one of the most tedious steps. Many techniques have been described to locate the IAC safely when using the MCFA. OBJECTIVE: We sought to describe a safe technique for identification of the IAC and to demonstrate its feasibility in temporal bone dissections, as well as to discuss our clinical experience with this technique. METHODS: The surgical anatomy of the 20 temporal bones were evaluated and measured, especially by defining the medial and lateral ends of the IAC and relations to the nearby located structures, Measurements were obtained at 3 levels: the width of the IAC at the level of the fundus, the width of the IAC at the level of the porus, and the safe distance around the IAC at the meatal level. The medial and lateral IAC end widths were compared with each other and with the safe area at the meatal level. RESULTS: The smallest, the largest, and the mean values were recorded. The mean width of the IAC at the level of the porus was found to be more than 3-fold that of the width of the IAC at the level of the Bill's bar, and the ratio between the width of the medial safe area around the IAC and the lateral end of the IAC was found to be more than 7-fold as wide. CONCLUSION: This technique offers direct quick exposure of the IAC, without handling the facial nerve and the inner ear structures, Forty-five cases of operations with the same technique showed excellent ease and safety of identifying the IAC medially in the MCFA.

    Management of acoustic neuroma in the only hearing ear
    (Springer, 2005) Naguib, MB; Cokkeser, Y; Sanna, M
    Patients with acoustic neuroma in their only hearing ear are not frequently seen in clinical practice. Managing this group of patients is a challenge to both the patient and surgeon. In this study we report on five cases of acoustic neuroma in an only hearing ear. Our decision for conservative management of those patients with regular follow-up using auditory brain stem response and magnetic resonance imaging is discussed. Other management options currently available are reviewed as well.

    Management of the vertebral artery at the craniocervical junction
    (Mosby, Inc, 2005) Çokkeser, Y; Naguib, MB; Kizilay, A
    OBJECTIVES: To study the surgical anatomy of the vertebral artery at the craniocervical junction and its related structures defining reliable landmarks for its safe exposure. DESIGN: Ten sides of 5 fresh cadavers were dissected using the lateral approach to the craniocervical junction. RESULTS: Experience gained in studying the anatomic details of the vertebral artery at the craniocervical junction in cadavers from its exit at the transverse foramen of the second cervical vertebra to the vertebrobasilar junction provided the initial background for us to use the lateral approaches to the skull base to safely manage 4 cases with pathology reaching the close vicinity of vertebral artery at the craniocervical junction. CONCLUSION: Thorough knowledge of the anatomy of the vertebral artery is mandatory before attempting surgery at the craniocervical junction. There are reliable landmarks that, when followed, could facilitate safe exposure and identification of the artery. (c) 2005 American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Foundation, Inc.
