title: Supraorbital burr hole via a glabellar incision: a simple approach to anterior skull base.
abstract: A left subfrontopolar lesion with marked edema was totally resected utilizing a minimally invasive approach. It was possible to expose and resect the lesion, which turned out to be a tuberculoma, through a burr hole placed supraorbitally through a glabellar incision. The development and significance of minimalization techniques for surgery in the skull base region are discussed.
