Abstract
Pterional approach is a workhorse in neurosurgery, to the point where perfect knowledge of its execution is an imprescindible aspect of the clinical neurosurgical practice. In neurovascular surgery, the pterional approach is used to clip most anterior circulation aneurysms, small basilar tip aneurysms, and arteriovenous malformations and cavernous hemangiomas involving the anterior part of the forebrain. In this chapter, we describe in detail the technical aspects of the pterional approach.
