Summary
Neurosurgical approaches effectively treated orbital pathology, leading to symptom remission and tumor removal without complications. Patient safety and symptom relief were prioritized in this study.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Ophthalmology
- Oncology
Background:
- Orbital pathology presents unique challenges due to its location at the intersection of neurosurgery, ophthalmology, and oncology.
- Modern surgical interventions encompass both orbital and skull base procedures.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present neurosurgical approaches for orbital pathology.
- To evaluate the efficacy and safety of surgical interventions for orbital lesions.
Main Methods:
- A retrospective study of 17 patients with orbital pathology over 4 years.
- Utilized fronto-temporal and pterional approaches with orbital roof resection and tumor ablation.
- Demographic data and presenting symptoms (exophthalmia, headache, diplopia, amblyopia, ptosis, rhinorrhea, facial nerve paresis) were recorded.
Main Results:
- Postoperative remission of exophthalmia and other presenting symptoms was observed.
- No complications were registered following the surgical procedures.
Conclusions:
- Neurosurgical techniques and cranial approaches should be individualized based on lesion characteristics.
- Key objectives include ensuring patient safety, achieving symptom remission, and complete tumor removal.
