A novel technique for safe percutaneous biopsy of a petrous apex lesion - 20/04/23

Lesions within the skull base are the most challenging targets for percutaneous biopsy due to the likelihood of encountering a critical structure along any needle trajectory. Due to ICA proximity, the petrous apex is considered unsafe. We describe a novel percutaneous CT-guided approach for biopsying a petrous apex lesion via a contralateral mandibular condylar notch (subzygomatic approach). To our best knowledge, this approach has not been reported and can be safely employed with thorough planning.
