A Morphometric Analysis of the Middle Cranial Fossa in Mexican Adults for Dolenc and Kawase Approaches With Computed Tomography, 3D Reconstruction and Dry Skulls
This study provides the first MCF morphometric norms for Mexican adults to support safer, individualized Dolenc, Kawase, and middle fossa approach planning. CT-based measurements are largely reliable for surgical planning, although they slightly underestimate the Kawase approach reference points.
