title: An approach to pediatric brow dermoids: an upper eyelid crease incision.
abstract: Dermoids are common periorbital masses in children. Traditional surgical approaches have included direct incision over the mass, above, below or through the brow and parallel to the superior orbital rim, a Lynch incision, a lateral canthotomy or an upper eyelid crease and orbicularis oculi splitting incision. We report a case of a child with a lateral brow dermoid whose lesion was successfully removed via an upper eyelid crease approach that avoided an orbicularis oculi incision.
