title: Eyebrow incision using tattoo for anterior fossa lesions: technical case reports.
abstract: Some Korean women draw tattoo in their eyebrow to cover the scant hair. If a patient has a tattoo in her eyebrow, lesions of anterior cranial fossa can be easily managed with this small eyebrow skin incision through a small unilateral supraorbital craniotomy. By this technique, 7 cases of anterior cranial fossa lesions were successfully treated without any major complications. This leads to less facial scar, less operation time and an earlier return to social adaptation.
