Osteoplastic pterional craniotomy
South Med J.
1989 May.
Abstract
We describe a new method for small frontotemporal craniotomies. Adequate exposure is obtained. Sparing of the trunk of the frontotemporal branch of the facial nerve as it passes near the eyebrow preserves forehead mimetic function, and maintenance of the blood supply to the bone flap helps to prevent resorption.
