====== Supraorbital approach =======

The [[supraorbital]] approach is a minimally invasive and cosmetically favorable alternative to more extended approaches with longer operative times used for the management of [[optic nerve decompression]] in posttraumatic or compressive optic neuropathy from [[skull base]] pathologies extending into the [[optic canal]] (OC). The relative ease of this approach provides a relatively short learning curve for developing neurosurgeons
