Abstract

The cavernous sinus is no more considered no man's land. It is a very well organized anatomic entity that can safely be navigated. It is both a route and a destination. Unlocking the cavernous sinus provides a highway that can be used to reach different vascular and tumor locations that were deemed very risky to handle.

Keywords: Aneurysm; Basilar artery; Cavernous sinus; Transcavernous approach.
