ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To evaluate clinically the efficacy of 360-degree minimally invasive endoscopic surgery in patients with orbital intraconal tumors.DESIGN:
Retrospective interventional case series.METHODS:
A series of consecutive patients with orbital intraconal tumors were treated with minimally invasive surgery using an endonasal endoscopic approach or an anterior endoscopic orbitotomy over a 5-year period between January 2015 and January 2020 at the National Institute of Oncology and Radiobiology of Cuba.RESULTS:
In 22 patients, the mean age was 52.3 ± 11 years (range 18-71 years) with a female to male ratio of 1.81. Visual loss was present in 3 patients and proptosis was present in 19 patients. The most common diagnosis was cavernous hemangioma (72.7%) followed by orbital sheet meningioma (9.1%). The lower-inner (type II) location was the most usual, followed by the lower-outer (type IV). A gross total resection was achieved in 95.5% of patients. In only 1 case with an orbital pseudotumor was the resection subtotal because of the fibrous consistency, irregularity, and adherences to the medial rectus muscle. All patients with visual loss improved to normal visual function after surgery at follow-up and orbital proptosis recovered in all patients with these symptoms. Both immediate and long-term morphologic and aesthetic results were good in all patients.CONCLUSION:
The minimally invasive 360-degree surgical approach with a full endoscopic visualization can be safe and efficient in patients with select orbital intraconal tumors. Optic nerve location constitutes the main aspect in the surgical approach selection. A large case series is necessary to standardize this surgical philosophy.
