Over the past two decades, improvements in surgical tools, navigation systems, and endoscopic techniques have resulted in the widespread use of keyhole surgery for a wide range of skull base tumors. Currently, the trans-eyebrow supraorbital approach is being increasingly used in surgery for anterior cranial fossa and parasellar tumors. Material and methods. The study included 7 patients who underwent surgery for meningioma using the trans-eyebrow supraorbital approach at the Burdenko Neurosurgical Institute in the period between 2013 and 2017. The age of patients ranged from 51 to 75 years (median, 60 years); there were 5 females and 2 males. The maximum diameter of resected tumors ranged from 20 to 60 mm (median 40 mm). Results. Total resection of the tumor was achieved in all 7 cases, which was confirmed by postoperative MRI control. All 7 patients had a good cosmetic result. In 1 case, there was postoperative cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea due to incomplete closure of the frontal sinus, which required the patient to be re-operated. None of 7 cases was associated with injury to the main vessels or cavernous sinus. Conclusion. Supraorbital trans-eyebrow craniotomy provides a minimally invasive approach for removing most anterior cranial fossa base and suprasellar tumors. The advantages of keyhole surgery, in comparison with traditional craniotomies, are minimal complications associated with the approach.
