    However, these classifications do not necessarily apply to the ventral 2-dimensional endoscopic endonasal perspective, where orientation and identification of the exact course and varied angulations of these arterial segments becomes difficult. The classification and nomenclature of the internal carotid artery as seen via a ventral pathway (Figure 9) with the aim of greater clarification and serving as a practical guide, essential to avoid injury.40-43 Because the anatomical conditions that can facilitate or hinder the exploration of the skull base via the transcranial routes are usually well known, endoscopic anatomical investigations should focus on the identification of anatomical conditions that can influence exploration via the endonasal route.
