摘要

Background and importance

Lesions confined to the hypoglossal canal are rare, but may lead to invalidating symptoms. Moreover, extensive approaches to this region frequently require complex dissections and high surgical risks. We propose a minimally invasive approach specifically tailored to purely intracanalicular lesions of the hypoglossal canal.

Clinical presentation

With the aid of operative images and anatomic dissection, we present a clinical case of such a lesion and describe a targeted surgical approach for treatment.

Conclusion

For lesions purely confined to the hypoglossal canal, a tailored intracondylar approach is feasible and may, in selected cases, reduce surgical times and complications.
