Anterior clinoidectomy is an important procedure used in the treatment of a range of diseases of the frontotemporal region, both vascular and tumoral. Mastering this technique requires a high level of manual skills training. The objective of the study was to describe an easily accessible and economical alternative model of anterior clinoidectomy, with a principal focus on the significance of mastering technical skills and training tactile feedback. ⋯ A cadaveric sheep head model serves as a good model of anterior clinoidectomy regarding manual skills training and can serve as a good alternative to human cadaveric training.
