Calvarial hyperpigmentation.

Background: Osseous hyperpigmentation of the calvarium is an extremely rare finding with only few reported cases in literature.

Case Description: The case is of a 59-year-old Caucasian male who presented with an acute history of generalized tonic clonic seizures and progressive weakness of the right upper limb. He had a background history of a malignant melanoma which had been resected from his left external acoustic meatus 4 weeks prior.

Supraorbital eyebrow approach: A single-center experience.

Background: Keyhole neurosurgery is the notion of safely removing brain and skull base lesions through smaller and more precise openings that lessen collateral damage to the surrounding scalp, brain, blood vessels, and nerves. The traditional frontal and pterional approaches require large craniotomies and this predisposes patients to significant and avoidable morbidity. With the growing expectation for minimally invasive surgery, we present our experience with the supraorbital keyhole craniotomy for surgical lesions in the anterior cranial fossa and parasellar regions.
