Temporal Bone & Petrous Apex Tumors: Radiographic Diagnosis, Surgical Corridors & Cranial Nerve VI Management
6th March, 2026, 17:05 - 18:05
Pacific C

Attendees will gain a radiologic-to-surgical arms‑length roadmap, focusing on how to interpret imaging, choose the optimal corridor, and preserve cranial nerve VI function. Interactive questions are encouraged—ideal for surgeons in training, combined ENT-neurosurgery teams, neuro-ophthalmologists assessing cranial nerve outcomes, and radiologists engaged in preoperative planning.

Objectives

At the conclusion of this session, attendees will be able to:

• Differentiate among anterior-lateral, medial, and posterior-lateral surgical approaches to the petrous apex based on anatomical landmarks and proximity to the abducens nerve.
• Interpret advanced radiographic findings of petrous apex lesions to guide surgical planning and assess potential risks to cranial nerve VI.
• Praise management strategies for abducens nerve palsy resulting from petrous apex pathology, and formulate a multidisciplinary treatment plan that integrates surgical, radiologic, and ophthalmologic perspectives.
