Abstract

BACKGROUND Pituitary adenoma is a neurosurgical pathology commonly resected via endoscopic endonasal approach. Septal and nasal passage anatomy can affect the surgical corridor and may require septoplasty or other techniques for expansion. OBSERVATIONS The authors presented a case of pituitary macroadenoma with septal deviation with use of balloon-assisted nasal access for surgery. LESSONS This technique enhanced surgical width of field and instrument maneuverability via septal medialization for successful tumor resection.
