Abstract
Emerging evidence from multiple highly specialized groups continues to support a role for resection of the medial wall of the cavernous sinus when it is invaded by functional pituitary adenomas, to offer durable biochemical remission. The authors present two cases of Cushing's disease that underscore the power of this surgical technique in achieving remission in microadenomas that ectopically present in the cavernous sinus or have invaded the medial wall of the sinus. This video demonstrates key steps in the safe removal of the medial wall of the cavernous sinus and successful resection of tumor burden in the cavernous sinus for sustained postoperative remission.
