The tumor compartments dorsal and ventral to the horizontal portion of the intracavernous [[carotid artery]] are amenable to the removal. But for removal of the tumor compartment lateral to the carotid siphon requires additional use of the parasellar approach ((Taniguchi M, Hosoda K, Akutsu N, Takahashi Y, Kohmura E.
