Anatomoradiological comparison between the minipterional and supraorbital eyebrow approaches to the interpeduncular region
The MPT approach provides a wider and shorter operative corridor and can be employed for lesions in the interpeduncular region with extension to the prepontine cistern and ventrolateral midbrain lesions requiring access through the AMZ. The SE approach is better suited for ventromedial midbrain lesions requiring access via the interpeduncular fossa safe entry zone. Additional studies analyzing these approaches in a clinical setting will help to delineate their reliability and efficacy.
