Anterior clinoid process (ACP) mucocele is a rare lesion, typically managed via craniotomy or endonasal approaches. We report a case successfully treated with endoscopic transorbital surgery with anterior clinoidectomy. This minimally invasive route provided direct access to the lesion with excellent visualization, while avoiding morbidity associated with conventional approaches. Our experience suggests that the transorbital approach represents a safe and effective alternative for ACP mucoceles.
