Abstract
The middle fossa transpetrosal approach was originally developed by King in 1970, and so-called “extended middle fossa approach”, which was combined with middle fossa craniotomy and translabyrinthine approach [6]. The method was mainly applied to acoustic tumors, but it was indicated to clival lesions by Hakuba et al. [2].
