title: [Orbito-fronto-temporal approach to tumors at the base of the skull. Our experience in the creation of orbito-zygomatic-malar flap].
abstract: The authors describe the technique of mobilization of the osseous orbito-zygomatico-malar complex pedicled to the masseter muscle. In some affections it is justiciable to use this approach which provides an excellent view of the lateral region of the medial cranial fossa and orbit and permits the access to the base of the tumor by a intra- and extracranial approach without traumatic injury for the brain and easy reconstruction.
