Abstract
The subfascial temporalis dissection and reconstruction of the temporalis muscle for pterional craniotomy are described. These procedures preserve the frontotemporal branch of the facial nerve and increase exposure along the sphenoid ridge. A good cosmetic appearance and good temporalis muscle function are achieved postoperatively.Keywords
