This study introduces a modified supraorbital craniotomy for accessing brain lesions. This surgical technique offers wide exposure and easy reconstruction, proving ideal for specific anterior fossa and orbital tumors.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Accessing tumors in the anterior cranial fossa, orbit, and surrounding structures presents surgical challenges.
  • Traditional approaches may offer limited exposure or require complex reconstruction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a modified supraorbital craniotomy technique for improved surgical access.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and ease of this approach for specific intracranial and orbital lesions.

Main Methods:

  • A supraorbital craniotomy was extended to incorporate the frontal sinus, lateral orbital rim, and zygoma.
  • This provided extensive exposure of the anterior fossa, orbit, middle fossa, and cavernous sinus.

Main Results:

  • The modified supraorbital craniotomy allows for wide surgical exposure.

  • The procedure is technically straightforward, with rapid bone flap closure.
  • This approach is well-suited for large benign lesions of the sphenoid wing and orbit.

    • Conclusions:

    • The modified supraorbital craniotomy is an effective and efficient surgical approach.
    • It offers significant advantages for resecting specific anterior fossa and orbital tumors.
    • This technique facilitates excellent anatomical reconstruction.
