Location: Griffin Hall

Introduction: Endoscopic endonasal approach to the anterior skull base is an appealing method for skull-based surgery because of the low degree of invasiveness compared with conventional craniotomy. In a case series of 800 (1) patients with this procedure, complications such as cerebrospinal fluid leak, meningitis, and neurological deficits have been reported. We reported a patient with occipital neuralgia who was initially referred to our clinic for orthostatic headache.
