title: A direct transnasal approach to the sphenoid sinus. Technical note.
abstract: The transsphenoidal route to the pituitary gland is well established in neurosurgical practice, and several approaches to the sphenoidal air sinus have been described. In this paper, the authors describe a technique that utilizes a direct route through the nasal cavity, thereby minimizing disruption of normal tissues.
