title: Subcranial approach for the correction of hypertelorism.
abstract: The subcranial approach for the osteotomy of the skull base and orbital roof in cases with hypertelorism is described. Advancement of the fronto-orbital segments is performed, avoiding the transfrontal procedure, thus making frontal lobe retraction unnecessary. The advantages of this method are pointed out.
