Abstract
In Brief: The authors found a practical intraoperative landmark to localize the optic strut during anterior clinoidectomy and used it as the basis for performing anterior clinoidectomy in two steps: extradural phase and intradural phase. This anatomically based technique can increase the safety of anterior clinoidectomy by providing easily identifiable landmarks and reducing intradural bone drilling, which could put the adjacent neurovauscular structures at risk.
