Opening the oculomotor triangle (OT) and removing the posterior fossa lesion by endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) is challenging for even an experienced endoscopic neurosurgeon. We summarize the treatment experience and technical nuances with EEA for resection of pituitary neuroendocrine tumors and cavernous sinus (CS) meningiomas invading through the OT. ⋯ The endoscopic endonasal transoculomotor triangle approach is an efficient surgical option for tumors with CS invasion and OT penetration.

Spinal pathologies are prevalent in Nigeria, though epidemiological data remains sparse. This systematic review used pooled patient-level data from across the country to generate a standardized epidemiological reference. ⋯ This systematic review and pooled analysis provide an epidemiological overview of spinal neurosurgery in Nigeria over the last 60 years and serves as a useful reference to direct future global research in this arena.
