Summary
Orbital tumor management varies across neurosurgical departments. A Paris-based department with ophthalmology collaboration shows specialized, though low, activity, primarily in sphenoorbital meningiomas.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Ophthalmology
- Oncology
Context:
- Orbital tumor management is a complex subspecialty.
- Few neurosurgical departments focus on orbital tumor care.
- Collaboration between neurosurgery and ophthalmology can enhance care.
Purpose:
- To compare orbital tumor management strategies.
- To evaluate the activity and focus of neurosurgical departments in orbital tumor treatment.
- To highlight the role of interdisciplinary collaboration.
Summary:
- This chapter analyzes orbital tumor management in several neurosurgical departments.
- A Paris-based department with strong ophthalmology ties primarily manages sphenoorbital meningiomas.
- Other orbital tumor types are managed sporadically, indicating low overall activity.
Impact:
- Provides insights into current practices for orbital tumor management.
- Suggests potential benefits of interdisciplinary collaboration for specialized tumor care.
- Identifies areas for improvement in the management of diverse orbital tumors.

01:30Psychosurgery
Psychosurgery, the surgical alteration or permanent removal of brain tissue to alleviate severe psychological conditions, stands as one of the most radical and controversial treatments in the history of mental health care. Its development and application have evolved significantly, marked by dramatic shifts in scientific understanding and ethical perspectives.

02:07Tumor Progression
Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
