Background: Bifrontal craniotomy is one of the most common surgical approaches for dealing with anterior skull base lesions. However, this procedure occasionally presents complications like anosmia, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage, infection, and cosmetic problems. Although previous reports suggested various solutions, there remains a need to further refine the procedure to ensure better outcomes.

The patient is a 51-year-old woman who had been experiencing syncope and near-syncopal events for at least 10 years with an otherwise benign neurological exam. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an extra-axial mass consistent with a midline planum and tuberculum sellae meningioma, for which the patient opted to have resected. We demonstrate how performing a posterior orbitotomy with anterior clinoidectomy can enhance a lateral supraorbital craniotomy.

Background Tuberculum sellae meningiomas (TSM) tend to compress the optic apparatus and an ideal surgical route, whether transcranial or endonasal, is still debated. Another issue is if the minimally invasive supraorbital (SO) approach offers the same results compared to the more invasive craniotomy. Aiming to guide approach selection, preoperative grading systems have been described.

Introduction And Importance: Transorbital penetrating traumatic brain injury (TPTBI) is a rare cause of penetrating head injury, yet the diagnoses can be overlooked in some cases due to incomplete history, trivial trauma, and the absence of immediate neurologic deficits.
Case Presentation: A 4-year-old male child was admitted with a diagnosis of TPTBI by a wooden object. Noncontrast enhanced CT scan revealed a linear hypodense structure extending from the superior wall of the right orbit into the frontal lobe with displaced fragments into the brain.
