Transosseous reconstruction of temporalis muscle for pterional craniotomy: technical note

A Brunori et al. Minim Invasive Neurosurg. 1997 Mar.

Temporalis muscle asymmetry is a bothersome complication of pterional craniotomy, resulting from atrophy, malposition, and unreliable fixation. The authors describe a simple, quick, and inexpensive technique to achieve firm, anatomic reapproximation of the temporalis muscle to its bone attachment.
