Extended frontotemporal craniotomy with orbitozygomatic glenoid fossa osteotomy for resection of giant trigeminal schwannoma: illustrative case
The incorporation of a glenoid fossa osteotomy in the surgical approach reduced the working distance to the lesion and improved intraoperative visibility, thus minimizing retraction-related injury, allowing for safe resection and preservation of the TMJ. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25178.
