ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
We report on the effectiveness of the small incision anterior approach for the deep orbital tumor.METHODS:
The authors operated on 5 patients with deep orbital tumor using the small incision anterior approach.RESULTS:
Five cases , 2 neurilemmomas, 1 orbital dermoid cyst, 1 angiofibroma, and 1 osteoma, were treated surgically with the small incision anterior approach and had good cosmetic result, early recovery, and showed no serious complications.CONCLUSIONS:
The small incision anterior approach for the deep orbital tumor has a number of advantages over lateral orbitotomy, including shorter operation time, early recovery and good cosmetic results. Nevertheless, this technique requires a precise preoperative diagnosis.
