“…Lunardi et al documented a case featuring cerebellar syndrome and neurological symptoms 5 . House and Brackmann witnessed the destruction of the petrous apex, indicating a possibly severe and progressed state of cerebellopontine angle cholesterol granuloma 6 . CT scans reveal cholesterol granulomas as distinct, non-enhancing, expanding masses accompanied by bone weakening and erosion 7,8,9 .…”

“…These include suboccipital, infracochlear, infralabyrinthine, middle fossa, translabyrinthine, transotic, infratemporal, and endoscopic endonasal approaches. 4,7,[9][10][11][12][13][14]16,20 The transsphenoidal endoscopic approach is less invasive than the lateral open approaches, as it does not require brain retraction and preserves facial nerve and hearing function. To this end, endoscopic endonasal procedures are indicated in cases in which lesions of the petrous apex abut the posterior wall of the sphenoid sinus.…”
