Surgical treatment of cranial orbit tumors

Abstract

The pathology of cranioorbital region draws attention of surgeons of various specialities because of close and difficult anatomic mutual relation of a cavity of a skull, an orbit and additional sinuses of a nose. To various pathological processes, in particular to tumours of this localization, were long since developed extracranial and transcranial approaches depending on primary diffusion of pathological processes. The group of extracranial approaches is especially numerous and includes both transorbital, and approaches through additional sinuses of a nose. Division of transcranial approaches is based on presence or absence of necessity of mobilisation in the course of approach supraorbital edge.
