Conditions Treated

The supraorbital keyhole approach is used to remove skull base tumors that lie too far to the side or too forward for the endonasal endoscopic approach. A small incision is made in the eyebrow and a keyhole craniotomy is performed to access the tumor. The cosmetic result is excellent since the eyebrow hides the incision. This approach minimizes the brain injury which might occur using a more traditional craniotomy.
