The optic apparatus includes the optic nerves, chiasm, and optic tracts. Lesions affecting this region vary widely with respect to histologic type, site, extent, and clinicopathologic behavior. Treatment of these…
The optic nerve and chiasm can be involved with pathology affecting the orbit, orbital apex, and skull base. When surgically addressing these structures, it is critical to maintain not only…
Endoscopic Repair of a Medial Orbital Wall Facture With the “Milan Technique” Endoscopic Medial Orbital Wall Reconstruction After Removal of an Orbital Mass Via a Transnasal Approach Among the seven…
Patient Demographics, Clinical Presentation, and Preoperative Workup Sinonasal mucoceles are benign lesions arising from progressive expansion of respiratory epithelium. Obstruction of the natural ostia of the corresponding sinus leads to…
The frontal sinus is commonly affected by inflammatory diseases, traumatic fractures, benign tumors, and malignant neoplasms. Because of its proximity to the brain, eye, and nose, disease processes originating from…
Right Orbital Subperiosteal Abscess Drainage Acute rhinosinusitis (ARS) accounts for one-fifth of all adult and pediatric antibiotic prescriptions. Bacterial ARS can lead to orbital or intracranial infections by direct or…
Endoscopic-Assisted Orbital Exenteration Malignant diseases involving the orbit can result in an incalculable amount of human suffering, as their natural course can progress to include bleeding, pain, disfigurement, blindness, and…
Osseous tumors represent a broad range of pathologic conditions, which can be roughly categorized into fibro-osseous lesions, cartilaginous lesions, reactive bone lesions, and vascular lesions. Most of these entities are…
Endoscopic orbital surgery represents a challenging arena for the endoscopic surgeon. The orbit is highly complex, with critical structures confined in a fat-filled, soft-tissue space, thereby limiting visibility, and restricting…
The orbital apex is a small, cone-shaped region located between the posterior ethmoidal foramen anteriorly and the openings of the optic canal and superior orbital fissure posteriorly. It contains many…
