The improvement of surgical techniques as well as the introduction of new surgical instruments promoted the use of keyhole craniotomies in neurosurgery. We evaluated the technical aspects of the supra-orbital keyhole approach considering the indications, limitations, and complications of this approach to treat anterior cranial fossa and parasellar meningiomas. Twenty-four patients (21 females; mean age, 53 + or - 8.6 years) operated on between 2002 and 2006 through a supra-orbital eyebrow approach were studied. Maximal tumor diameter ranged from 1.6 to 6 cm. Gross total resection was done in 20 (83.3%). All tumors were histologically benign. Two patients (8%) experienced CSF rinorhea and another two patients suffered transitory diabetes insipidus (8%). One patient experienced transitory hemiparesis. There was one case of meningitis and one mortality. Follow-up ranged between 6 to 66 months (mean 31.5 + or - 20.1 months), with no recurrence. The supra-orbital keyhole craniotomy is a useful minimally invasive approach to treat selected anterior fossa and parasellar meningiomas.

Introduction: Traditional large craniotomies have been the standard for aneurysm surgery. However, minimally invasive "keyhole" approaches have gained popularity for aneurysm clipping in recent years. This study focuses on Supra-Orbital Keyhole Approach (SOKHA),its use in clipping of aneurysms of the anterior Circle of Willis.

Background: The main challenge in tuberculum sellae meningioma (TSM) resection is the safe dissection of the optic nerves, which many a times are compressed and distorted by the tumor. While intuitive, an approach from the side of predominant tumor extension makes tumor dissection from the medial surface of the ipsilateral optic nerve rather blind. We describe here a contralateral supraorbital eyebrow approach (c-SEA) to address this "blind spot.

Objective: The following paper describes the technique and outcomes of fronto-orbital variant of supraorbital key hole approach (f-SOKHA) to clip anterior circulation aneurysms and compares the same with a similar cohort operated through pterional craniotomy (PT).
Material And Methods: Ambispective study (2012-2019); Technique applied for anterior circulation aneurysms. Contraindications included: Large hematomas, tense brain, avoided in poor grade (Hunt and Hess grade III and IV).

Background: Surgery has been in a huge development where the aim is to achieve same or better results with less complication in a less invasive way; these minimal approaches can be applied in a very safe way to aneurysmal neurosurgery.
Method: Images are studied to optimize the patient positioning and the surgical roadmap. After the positioning, the skin incision, craniotomy, and dura incision are performed and intradural lesion is reached.
