A novel surgical approach was used for two challenging intraorbital lesions. This pterional transsphenoidal-transethmoidal route provided excellent outcomes for cavernous malformations.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Ophthalmology
  • Vascular Malformations

Background:

  • Intraorbital lesions pose surgical challenges due to their location.
  • Standard surgical approaches may be inadequate for posterior intraconal lesions.

Observation:

  • Two intraorbital cavernous malformations were located medial and inferior to the optic nerve.
  • These lesions were unfavorably positioned for conventional surgical access.

Findings:

  • A contralateral pterional transsphenoidal-transethmoidal route was successfully employed.
  • This approach provided excellent surgical exposure and favorable outcomes for the patients.

Implications:

  • This surgical technique offers a viable alternative for treating complex intraorbital lesions.
