Orbital lesions and techniques

Abstract

This article outlines the various lesions that commonly involve the orbit. The important elements of the evaluation of the orbit are discussed as well as the many different surgical approaches that are used with orbital lesions. The choice of approach primarily depends on the size and location of the mass. The salient points of the anatomy of the superior orbit are also detailed. The surgical technique of the superior orbitotomy and fronto-orbitozygomatic approach is described in detail.
