Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Ophthalmology
  • Anatomy

Context:

  • The transcranial approach to the orbit is a complex surgical procedure requiring detailed anatomical knowledge.
  • Understanding the microanatomy of the orbit is crucial for safe and effective surgical interventions.

Purpose:

  • To delineate three distinct intraorbital surgical approaches: medial, central, and lateral.
  • To provide precise microanatomical parameters for each approach, aiding surgeons in lesion targeting.

Summary:

  • The study dissected 20 cadaveric heads, analyzing three transcranial orbital approaches: medial (between superior oblique and levator palpebrae superior muscles), central (between levator palpebrae superior and superior rectus muscles), and lateral (between superior and lateral rectus muscles).
  • Specific variants and critical anatomical landmarks, including the frontal nerve and superior ophthalmic vein, were identified for each approach, correlating them with lesion locations in the orbital apex and optic nerve.

Impact:

  • This research establishes a microanatomical foundation for transcranial orbital surgery.
  • It aims to minimize damage to vital nerves and vessels, improving surgical outcomes for orbital pathologies.
