The bETOMA approach provides adequate neurovascular exposure and maneuverability to the spheno-orbital region, infratemporal, and anterior and middle cranial fossae, addressing significant limitations of previously investigated monoportal techniques (ie, optic nerve decompression, hyperostotic bone resection, and infratemporal exposure). This combined minimally invasive approach might help manage lesions harbored within the cranio-orbital interface region invading the extracranial space.
