“…In the past decades, remarkable advances in the endoscopic endonasal techniques have paved the way toward a safer and more effective access to the skull base. 9-15 On one hand, the endonasal approach has added extra versatility in terms of exposure and surgical freedom for the treatment of midline lesions 10,16-19 ; on the other, it presents some limitations when approaching the lateral skull base, mostly because internal carotid arteries and cranial nerves represent a tough anatomic barrier. 20-22…”

BACKGROUND:The recent development of the superior eyelid endoscopic transorbital approach (SETOA) offered a new route for the management of cavernous sinus and middle cranial fossa tumors. As a result, a constant anatomic landmark of the surgical pathway after drilling the medial edge of the greater sphenoid wing (GSW) is represented by a triangular-shaped bone ridge appearing as a "crest." OBJECTIVE: To perform an anatomic study to define this surgical landmark, named the "sagittal crest" (SC) as seen from the transorbital endoscopic view. METHODS: Four adult cadaveric specimens (8 sides) were dissected performing an endoscopic transorbital approach to the middle fossa and the SC was removed to perform interdural opening of the cavernous sinus. Computed tomography scans were made before and after removal of the SC to perform quantitative analysis and building a 3dimensional model of the bone resection of the GSW via the SETOA. RESULTS: The SC is a bone ridge triangle shaping dorsally the superior orbital fissure resulting as the residual fragment after drilling the lateral aspect of the greater sphenoid wing. Predissection and postdissection computed tomography scans allowed to objectively assess SC features and dimensions (mean 1.08 ± 0.2 cm). CONCLUSION: The SC is a constant anatomic landmark constituted of the residual medial portion of the GSW. Complete resection of this key landmark provides adequate working space and appears to be mandatory during SETOA to guide the subsequent interdural dissection of the lateral wall of cavernous sinus.

“…In this period, among his first papers on the subject, we find: Dynamical flavor dependence of static heavy meson decay constants on the lattice [51]. This is the first paper of a series devoted to the computation of heavy meson decay: Heavy quark masses in the continuum limit of quenched lattice QCD [52] and Quenched lattice calculation of the B → D l ν decay rate [53]. His strong interest in heavy meson decay was clearly triggered by the need of firm theoretical predictions in order to put strong constraints on possible violations of the standard model predictions.…”

“…This motivation lead these two papers: Non-perturbative determination of the running coupling constant in quenched SU (2) (1993) [57] and Universality and the approach to the continuum limit in lattice gauge theory [58]. The results of this accurate and innovative analysis were that using a finitesize renormalization group technique it was possible to calculate the running coupling constant for quenched SU(2) with a few percent error over a range of energy varying by a factor thirty.…”

This paper aims to recall some of the main contributions of Roberto Petronzio to physics, with a particular regard to the period we have been working together. His seminal contributions cover an extremely wide range of topics: the foundation of the perturbative approach to QCD, various aspects of weak interaction theory, from basic questions (e.g. the mass of the Higgs) to lattice weak interaction, lattice QCD from the beginning to most recent computations.• Perturbative QCD.• Weak interaction in the continuum.• Lattice QCD, the exploratory age.

“…Human cadaveric dissection, though traditional, provides an opportunity to explore the elusive and inaccessible domains of the surgical field which not only serves as a prudent platform for trainees to create an anatomical mind map of the orbit and its contents, but also makes for an ideal prospect for accomplished surgeons to expand their scope of technical skills. [ 4 ] Dissection confers understanding of spatial distribution and surgical tissue planes, offering a sound knowledge of applied anatomy. A study performed at Brighton and Sussex Medical School attempted to test the hypothesis whether there was a significant difference in the educational potential of a dissection-led study of orbital anatomy between participants who were postgraduate ophthalmology trainees and pre-medical school students.…”
