Popis: The anterior cranial fossa (ACF) is a complex anatomical region that can be affected by a broad spectrum of pathology. For the surgical treatment of these lesions, many approaches have been described, each of them with different scope and potential surgical complications, often associated with significant morbidity. Traditionally, tumors involving the ACF have been operated by transcranial approaches; however, in the last two decades, endoscopic endonasal approaches (EEAs) have been gaining popularity. In this work, the authors review and describe the anatomical aspects of the ACF and the technical nuances of transcranial and endoscopic approaches for tumors located in this region. Four approaches were performed in embalmed cadaveric specimens and the key steps were documented. Four illustrative cases of ACF tumors were selected to demonstrate the clinical application of anatomical and technical knowledge, which are essential in the preoperative decision-making process.
