Comment

The authors have expanded their experience on a few cases of patients operated on by a bilateral eyebrow incision and supraorbital craniotomy for skull base tumors into this technical note. I appreciate their surgical technique, but I think that much larger experience is needed before one can propose the systematic use of this approach.
