i listened first to the lecture on cholesteatoma and otospongiosis, and i was hooked, you are gifted Dr Branstetter, and your videos will definetly help thousands of doctors, and not just beginners. even attendings need to review skullbase and petrous bones every now and then.

Thank you Dr. Branstetter for making this video. Amazing lecture as always and very helpful for a beginner, looking forward to the next part and hopefully this gets all the attention it deserves like I mentioned haha!

Outstanding lecture!! Thanks so much!

Excellent.  Really great❤

Great presentation.. Thank you!

Excellent lecture . Thanks.

Great great great

beautiful, thank you for sharing! i also teach the pterygopalatine fossa as the fat behind the maxillary sinus and have found this makes it way easier for students to find on cross sectional imaging. i love how you not only point out that foramen rotundum is superior to the vidian canal but anchor this fact to two other pieces of information: V2 travels above the pterygopalatine ganglion whereas vidian nerve travels into it, the bone hole for V2 is short (hence foramen) whereas the bone hole for the vidian nerve is long (hence canal). i never put that together! i'll credit you when I teach my residents this...

Sir, I don’t understand why watching your videos makes everything seem so clear and easy, but when I look at the actual films, I get completely confused. Today, I almost had a breakdown trying to locate the vidian canal in front of a patient, and I just got lost. Now here I am watching the video for the 3rd time
