Does an alar ligament tubercle exist? Anatomical study with application to imaging interpretation and skull base approaches

Although numerous anatomical and radiological studies describe a "tubercle" of the alar ligaments at the medial OC as the alar ligament insertion, no systematic osteological investigation has evaluated the prevalence, morphology, and variability of this structure. Therefore, this...

Long-Term Radiographic Changes of Vascularized Pedicled Nasoseptal Flaps After Endoscopic Endonasal Skull Base Surgery

Background: Endoscopic endonasal approaches (EEA) are widely used for a myriad of skull base pathologies. Although historically associated with high cerebrospinal fluid leak (CSF) rates, this risk has been largely mitigated with vascularized nasoseptal flaps (NSF). However, posto...
