Abstract
✓ A technique to expose the anterior cranial base is described with entry through the anterior and posterior walls of the frontal sinus. Burr holes are avoided in the visible portion of the forehead. Expansion of the operative field may be accomplished, if necessary, by supplemental superior frontal or supraorbital rim osteotomy. The technique is rapid, safe, and provides excellent operative exposure and superior cosmetic results.Keywords
