Abstract
A microsurgical lateral orbital approach to intraorbital tumors was described. In 7 patients ultrasonic scanning, computerized axial tomography, polytomography, orbital venography and arteriography allowed precise intraorbital tumor localization relative to the optic nerve. Circumscribed tumors superior, lateral or inferior to the optic nerve can be safely and completely removed through a 30-35-mm lateral skin incision with microsurgical dissecting techniques. A combined neurosurgical-ophthalmological team approach is emphasized.Keywords
