Abstract
BACKGROUND The anterolateral (juxtacondylar) approach with limited mastoidectomy is a suitable option to expose the postero-inferior part of the jugular foramen (JF). It is particularly indicated for tumors extending in the neck beyond the jugular foramen, especially in those cases necessitating both neck control as well as control of the mastoid segment of facial nerve. METHOD We describe here the steps to safely perform an anterolateral approach with mastoidectomy along with a brief description of its indications and limits. CONCLUSION This approach represents a valid option to reach the JF. Its knowledge can improve the process of optimal approach selection when dealing with complex pathology involving the JF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal management of petroclival meningiomas (PCMs) continues to be debated along with several controversies that persist. METHODS A task force was created by the EANS skull base section along with its members and other renowned experts in the field to generate recommendations for the management of these tumors. To achieve this, the task force reviewed in detail the literature in this field and had formal discussions within the group. RESULTS The constituted task force dealt with the existing definitions and classifications, pre-operative radiological investigations, management of small and asymptomatic PCMs, radiosurgery, optimal surgical strategies, multimodal treatment, decision-making, and patient's counselling. CONCLUSION This article represents the consensually derived opinion of the task force with respect to the management of PCMs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The anterolateral approach (ALA) enables to access the craniovertebral junction (CVJ), lower and middle clivus, jugular foramen, and cervical spine from a lateral perspective. It is particularly indicated when dealing with extradural bone tumors. Other rare indications are represented by spondylotic myeloradiculopathy and vascular diseases. METHOD We describe here the steps to safely perform an anterolateral approach along with a brief description of its indications and limits. CONCLUSION ALA represents a valid option to treat cervical spine and CVJ bone tumors such as chordomas. Its knowledge can improve the process of approach selection when dealing with such complex cases.
