It is known that there are no cranial nerves on the lateral surface of the superior orbital fissure; therefore, the neurosurgeon can cut the MOB without causing any neurological deficit and, at the same time, achieving fully exposure of the anterior clinoid process\n                    <jats:sup>1-4<\/jats:sup>\n                    and\/or the lateral wall of the cavernous sinus.\n                    <jats:sup>5<\/jats:sup>\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The purpose of this video is to describe the microsurgical anatomy of the MOB and illustrate the technique for its detachment, accompanied by 2 illustrative cases.
