Abstrakt: Background and Objectives: The coexistence of complete carotico-clinoid bridge (CCB), an ossification between the anterior (ACP) and the middle clinoid (MCP), and an interclinoidal osseous bridge (ICB), between the ACP and the posterior clinoid (PCP), represents an uncommonly reported anatomic variant. If not adequately recognized, osseous bridges may complicate open or endoscopic surgery, along with the pneumatization of the ACP, especially when performing anterior or middle clinoidectomies.
Methods: According to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for Scoping Reviews guidelines, a systematic scoping review was conducted up to June 5, 2023. PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science databases, and additional citations were searched. Two hundred high-resolution noncontrast computed tomography (CT) scans (400 sides) and 41 dry skulls (82 sides) were analyzed to identify the different morphology of sellar bridges, focusing on the coexistence of complete CCF and ICB. Two embalmed latex-injected heads with coexisting CCF and ICB were dissected step-by-step to show the anatomic relationship with the surrounding structures from an endoscopic and microscopic perspective.
Results: A total of 19 articles were included. The review identified a complete CCF and ICB rate ranging from 4.92% to 6.3%. The analysis of 200 CT scans revealed a rate of coexistence in 4% of the cases, all encountered in White women. Two different types of interclinoid bridges were identified based on the degree of bone mineralization. Both endoscopic and macroscopic step-by-step dissections highlighted variability in morphology and consistency of the sellar bridges and the close relationship with the cavernous sinus neurovascular structures.
Conclusion: The coexistence of CCF and ICB is an anatomic variation found in 4% of cases. Preoperative knowledge of the degree of mineralization and its relationship with surrounding structures is essential to performing safe surgery and minimizing cranial nerve and vascular injuries. Preoperative high-resolution CT scans can adequately identify these anatomic variations.
