Comparative Cadaveric Study and Anatomic Limitations of the Nasofrontal Trephination: A Novel Endoscopic Corridor for Enhanced Exposure of The Odontoid and Occipital Condyle Regions
CNT augments traditional EEA by enhancing inferior access during the management of complex CVJ pathologies. Although NAxL angle may provide guidance in determining the inferior extent of the EEA, anatomic variability and its poor correlation with exposure area limit its standalone utility in surgical planning.
