The endoscopic approaches, through the endonasal and transorbital routes, can provide adequate exposure of Meckel's cave, especially for its more medial portions, bypassing the impediment of major neurovascular structures and significant brain retraction. As far as the most lateral portion of Meckel's cave, MTA approaches still seem to be the gold standard in obtaining optimal exposure and adequate surgical volumes.
