In this episode, we delve into the pretemporal anteromedial interdural approach to Meckel's cave, a critical surgical technique for accessing lesions in this complex skull base region. This discussion is based on the article "Pretemporal anteromedial interdural approach to Meckel's cave: How I do it," published in Acta Neurochirurgica in 2026, using the full text for our analysis. We examine the nuances of this approach, highlighting its step-by-step execution and potential benefits for neurosurgical management of pathologies affecting Meckel's cave. The clinical implications and anatomical considerations are discussed to enhance understanding for practitioners.
