Minimally invasive transpalpebral "eyelid" approach to the anterior cranial base.

Background: Supra orbital frontal minicraniotomy is one of the most commonly used minimally invasive approaches for anterior cranial fossa lesions.

Objective: To describe our experience with the transpalpebral "eyelid" incision to obtain access to the anterior cranial fossa.

Methods: We describe the approach and technique of the transpalpebral eyelid incision in a step-by-step fashion and discuss the results of 40 cases for which the eyelid incision was used.
