Objectives Skull base endoscopy allows for minimal access approaches to the sinonasal contents and cranial base. Advances in endoscopic technique and applications have been published rapidly in recent decades. Setting We utilized an Internet-based scholarly database (Web of Science, Thomson Reuters) to query broad-based phrases regarding skull base endoscopy literature. Participants All skull base endoscopy publications. Main Outcome Measures Standard bibliometrics outcomes. Results We identified 4,082 relevant skull base endoscopy English-language articles published between 1973 and 2014. The 50 top-cited publications (n = 51, due to articles with equal citation counts) ranged in citation count from 397 to 88. Most of the articles were clinical case series or technique descriptions. Most (96% [49/51])were published in journals specific to either neurosurgery or otolaryngology. Conclusions A relatively small number of institutions and individuals have published a large amount of the literature. Most of the publications consisted of case series and technical advances, with a lack of randomized trials.
目的 颅底内镜检查可采用微创入路处理鼻窦内容物和颅底。近几十年来，内镜技术及其应用进展迅速。
设置 我们利用基于互联网的学术数据库（汤森路透科学网）查询有关颅底内镜文献的广泛表述。
参与者 所有颅底内镜检查相关出版物。
主要观察指标 标准文献计量学结果。
结果 我们共识别出1973年至2014年间发表的4082篇相关的颅底内镜英文文章。被引频次最高的50篇出版物（共51篇，因存在被引频次相同的文章）的被引频次在397次至88次之间。大部分文章为临床病例系列或技术描述。大部分（96%[49/51]）发表于神经外科或耳鼻喉科的专业期刊。
结论 相对少数的机构和个人发表了大量相关文献。大部分出版物为病例系列和技术进展，缺乏随机试验。
