57 Prevention 1. Assess the integrity of the skull base on a coronal computed tomography (CT) scan. 2. Identify the Keros class of the medial skull base on a coronal CT scan. 3. Estimate the posterior ethmoid height and the slope of skull base on coronal and sagittal CT scans. 4. Avoid medial and superior dissection during ethmoidectomy. 5. Penetrate the basal lamella medially and inferiorly. 6. Identify the skull base at the sphenoid face, and then dissect the skull base retrograde. 7. Use a 0-degree scope for ethmoid dissection and a 30-degree scope for skull-base dissection. 8. Palpate behind all septations before removal. Carrau, R et al.
