Background: Many approaches were recommended for surgical treatment of orbital lesions via either transorbital or transcranial routes. The frontolateral craniotomy through eyebrow skin incision (lateral supraorbital approach) is a combined cranio-orbital approach that could be used in different orbital lesions.
Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the lateral supraorbital approach for resection of orbital lesions.
Patients And Methods: Ten patients with different orbital lesions were treated by this minimally invasive technique. The technique is described in details. The postoperative outcome was evaluated with casting light on the specific parameters related to this approach.
Results: This study included 6 females and 4 males, ranging in age from 2 years to 65 years with mean age of 37.3 years. Proptosis was the most common presenting complaint. Six patients were operated on via the right supraorbital approach, and 4 patients via the left supraorbital approach. Various pathological lesions were treated. The excision was total in 7 patients, subtotal in 1 patient, and partial in 2 patients. Two patients suffered transient supraorbital hypothesia, 1 patient showed temporary superficial wound infection with CSF leak and 1 patient died within 6 months.
Conclusion: The lateral supraorbital approach is a minimally invasive approach that provides excellent exposure of the superior, lateral, and medial orbit, as well as the orbital apex.

Glabellar filler injections are a popular non-surgical approach to address depressions and wrinkles caused by aging, muscle activity, and soft tissue loss. An anatomy-based technique emphasizes understanding the complex structure of the glabellar region, including the corrugator supercilii and procerus muscles, and the superficial vascular pathways, such as the supratrochlear and supraorbital arteries. Effective treatment involves precise filler placement, often combined with botulinum toxin to address both volume loss and dynamic wrinkles.

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.

Article Synopsis
- A supraorbital keyhole craniotomy (SOKC) offers a new method for accessing brain tumors and aneurysms in the front of the skull, but is not suitable for all patients due to potential complications.
- Researchers analyzed two cases involving the use of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) to assist in choosing suitable patients and planning surgeries for removing meningiomas using the SOKC method.
- Results showed both patients successfully had their tumors removed with the SOKC approach, but faced some postoperative complications, emphasizing the need for careful patient selection and customized planning to improve outcomes using AR/VR technology.

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.
