Summary
This case report details a rare orbital roof hemangioma invading surrounding facial bones. Surgical excision and reconstruction were successfully performed using a frontolateral approach.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Ophthalmology
- Oncology
Background:
- Orbital roof hemangiomas are rare benign vascular tumors.
- Infiltration into adjacent structures presents unique surgical challenges.
Observation:
- A rare case of orbital roof hemangioma with extensive infiltration into the medial and lateral orbital walls, zygomatic bone, and sphenoid wings is presented.
- The tumor's extensive nature required a complex surgical approach.
Findings:
- Complete tumor excision was achieved via a frontolateral surgical approach.
- Successful craniofacial and orbital roof reconstruction was performed post-excision.
Implications:
- Demonstrates the feasibility of complete resection for extensive orbital hemangiomas.
- Highlights the importance of tailored surgical techniques for complex orbital tumors.
