Abstract

We describe a supraorbital approach through an upper eyebrow skin incision to treat a fronto-orbital fracture with pneumocephaly in a 84-year-old cardiac patient. The clinical and cosmetic results are excellent. This case is illustrated by pre- and postoperative CT-scan and MRI as well as pictures showing the minimal invasive technique.
