ABSTRACT
The transpalpebral approach provides a minimally invasive corridor to the anterior skull base and temporal lobe. It has been described for anterior circulation aneurysms and skull base tumors as well as more recently for resection of epileptogenic pathology in the adult population. We describe our experience using this approach in a 13-year-old adolescent boy suffering from epilepsy secondary to concomitant left temporal focal cortical dysplasia and pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma extending throughout the amygdala with excellent results.1-5 To the best of our knowledge, this is the first published case using the transpalpebral approach for this pathology, as well for epilepsy in the pediatric population. The patient consented to the procedure and to the publication of his image.
