Summary
Endoscopic transnasal surgery offers a minimally invasive option for orbital cavernous hemangiomas. This approach provides direct access to the orbit, reducing morbidity and cosmetic impact compared to traditional methods.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Neurosurgery
- Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery
Background:
- Orbital cavernous hemangiomas are common benign tumors causing proptosis and visual disturbances.
- Surgical removal is often necessary due to optic nerve compression, but traditional approaches have high morbidity.
- Endoscopic techniques offer a minimally invasive alternative with cosmetic advantages.
