Purpose: Lateral supraorbital approach is a simpler and quicker method than pterional approach. It provides a more anterior projection when compared to the pterional approach. There are some minor differences of the modified lateral supraorbital approach when compared to lateral supraorbital approach. It is directed more subfrontally and anterior than the pterional and lateral supraorbital approach.
Material And Methods: We used modified lateral supraorbital approach in 100 cases between 2012 and 2015 in Medical Park İzmir Hospital/Turkey. The assessed data were as follows: age, gender, Glasgow coma scale at admission, the localization of pathology, the condition of surgical obliteration for aneurysm, excision grade for meningioma, length of stay in the hospital and Glasgow outcoma scale at discharge.
Results: Of all patients, 58 (58%) were men and 42 (42%) were women. Our cases were anterior communicating artery aneurysms (41 cases), tuberculum sella and medial sphenoid wing meningiomas (22 cases), middle cerebral artery aneurysms (15 cases), olfactory groove meningiomas (15 cases), anterior choroidal artery aneurysms (4 cases) and posterior communicating artery aneurysms (3 cases). 4 patients died and the mortality rate of the study cohort was 4%.
Conclusions: The MLSA is faster, simpler and less invasive than the PA and LSA.

Modified Lateral Supraorbital Craniotomy with Posterior Orbitotomy and Anterior Clinoidectomy for Resection of a Midline Planum and Tuberculum Sellae Meningioma.

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.

The Cambeva variegata group, diagnosed by having a prominent skin crest similar to an adipose fin, an interrupted supraorbital laterosensory canal, with an additional supraorbital S4 pore, and a relatively small premaxilla with an accentuated constriction on its lateral portion, occurs in a broad area of south-eastern Brazil, mostly within the savannah-like Cerrado vegetation at the northern-most part of the genus distribution. The new species described here was collected in streams of the Rio das Velhas drainage, Rio São Francisco basin, draining the Serra do Espinhaço.

- - Three new species of brachyuran crabs have been identified in Tamil Nadu, India, including the first epialtid species from this region, Acanthophrys keeae n. sp., which has unique physical features that distinguish it from related species in Australia.
- - The second species, Latopilumnus ajmali n. sp., was discovered in a sponge and is characterized by its densely hairy body and smooth dorsal surface with poorly defined regions.
- - The third species, Vellumnus intonsus n. sp., found in coral rubble, shares similarities with two other species but can be identified by specific features such as a deep cleft separating lobes on its front and distinctive shapes of
A Case of Supraorbital Hypoesthesia Following Double Orbital Sphere Volume Implant.

The patient is a 63-year-old female with past ocular history of end-stage glaucoma in her OD. To maintain symmetry and achieve cosmesis with her right orbit, she chose to proceed with enucleation of the eye with a donor sclera-wrapped 20-mm silicone sphere implant. After 1 year, she developed right enophthalmos due to volume loss.

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.
