Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol 2024; 262:2661-2673. [PMID: 38502351 PMCID: PMC11271350 DOI: 10.1007/s00417-024-06447-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2023] [Revised: 02/21/2024] [Accepted: 03/08/2024] [Indexed: 03/21/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE The optic nerve sheath meningioma (ONSM) is one of the most challenging tumors in orbital surgery. From the perspective of mental health and patient needs, we analyzed the necessity and importance of the endoscopic transnasal approach (ETA) combined with optic nerve transection (ONT) in gross-total resection (GTR) in ONSM patients with residual vision and aim to broaden the use of ONT for specific people. METHODS The authors included patients with ONSMs who were treated between 2014 and 2022. We divided those cases into two groups named ETA group and lateral orbitotomy approach (LOA) group. We present the application of ETA and analyze the preoperative indication of the ONT and compared the advantages and disadvantages between ETA and LOA. The degree of tumor resection was based on imaging and surgical evaluation. RESULTS A total of 23 patients with ONSM were included. Sixteen patients underwent ETA, and seven underwent LOA. Among ETA cases, GTR was achieved in 14 patients with ONT and most patients maintained normal eye movement function (75%) and morphology (93.75%). In the ETA group, 14 patients experienced vision loss, while two other patients saw improvements in vision. And proptosis was alleviated (5.20 ± 2.34 vs 0.27 ± 0.46, p < 0.0001). Six patients with blindness and proptosis of the LOA group resulted in GTR with ONT and ophthalmectomy. Although intracranial extension and recurrence included no cases in the two groups, a significant psychological gap was presented due to cosmetic problems. CONCLUSIONS Under the premise of reducing damage and improving aesthetics, the selection of ETA combined with ONT to gross-total resect ONSMs successfully provides a minimally invasive access with acceptable complications. As an important adjunct to GTR in the surgical treatment of ONSM, the scope of ONT application should be expanded to relieve the patient's psychological burden.

Endoscopic Endonasal Approach to the Orbit: A Case Series and Clinical Experience Emphasizing the Advantages of the Ipsilateral Mononostril Technique. World Neurosurg 2024; 186:e273-e282. [PMID: 38548053 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2024.03.122] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2023] [Revised: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/23/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lesions situated within the orbit pose significant challenges in management due to the confined space they occupy and their proximity to critical anatomical structures. The objective of our study is to assess the feasibility of the ipsilateral endoscopic endonasal approach for orbital cavernous hemangiomas and to comprehend the surgical anatomy of the orbital apex and inferomedial orbital structures. METHODS Thirteen patients (8 women, 5 men), with ages ranging from 25 to 54 years (mean 35.2 ± 8.3 years), with orbital cavernous hemangioma who underwent surgery via the ipsilateral mononostril endoscopic endonasal approach between August 2018 and August 2023 were retrospectively evaluated. Demographic characteristics, clinical data, radiographic images, and clinical outcomes of the patients were collected from digital medical records. RESULTS The left orbit was more commonly affected (9 left, 4 right). The average postoperative follow-up duration was 22.2 months (range: 6-50 months). Among the 13 cases of orbital cavernous hemangioma, 1 (7.7%) was located in the extraconal compartment, and 12 (92.3%) were situated in the intraconal compartment. Complete surgical resection of the tumor was successfully achieved in all patients. CONCLUSIONS Our study highlights the potential advantages of employing a purely ipsilateral mononostril endoscopic endonasal approach for orbital surgery, particularly for accessing the orbital apex and managing medial and inferomedial orbital lesions. This technique holds promise for reducing morbidity and enhancing outcomes, especially when combined with careful patient selection, preoperative planning, and advanced endoscopic skills.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report the surgical outcomes of 4-handed endoscopic and transcaruncular approaches for orbital apex tumours located in the medial orbit. METHODS This retrospective, observational study included 6 patients (2 males and 4 females; 3 right and 3 left; mean age, 49.5 years; age range, 38-60 years) who underwent excision of an orbital apex tumour in the medial orbit via 4-handed endonasal and transcaruncular approaches. Data on age, sex, affected side, surgical record and complications, and results of pathological examinations, imaging studies, and ophthalmologic examinations were collected. RESULTS Tumours pathologically corresponded to a cavernous haemangioma in 5 cases and a schwannoma in 1 case. The cavernous haemangioma was completely removed in all cases, while the schwannoma was only debulked because the tumour attached to the surrounding tissues. The medial orbital wall was reconstructed simultaneously in 1 case and 8 days after tumour resection in 1 case. Postoperatively, the visual acuity improved or was maintained in all patients. One patient without medial orbital wall reconstruction showed significant enophthalmos on the affected side after surgery. Another patient without medial orbital wall reconstruction did not obtain binocular single vision field in any direction of gaze after surgery due to severe esotropia. CONCLUSIONS This report indicates that 4-handed endoscopic and transcaruncular approaches are useful for removal of an orbital apex tumour located in the medial orbit. Medial orbital wall reconstruction after tumour resection may be a better option for reducing the risk of postoperative enophthalmos and esotropia.

Abstract
The transnasal endoscopic approach is increasingly used for resection of tumors that are located inferiorly and medially within the orbit. However, this usually requires multiple-handed manipulations, which demand a second corridor for an assistant. Here, we introduce a simple transseptal corridor from the contra-nare, to facilitate assistant instrument maneuverability. This simple, minimally invasive skill greatly improves operation efficiency and deserves greater attention in endoscopic orbital surgery.

Oper Neurosurg (Hagerstown) 2024:01787389-990000000-01135. [PMID: 38651862 DOI: 10.1227/ons.0000000000001157] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 02/09/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE Various invasive oculoplastic procedures are commonly utilized to control the rectus muscles and widen the surgical corridor through the endoscopic endonasal removal of large orbital apex cavernous hemangiomas (OACHs). They require additional transconjunctival incision, rectus muscle insertional retraction, or muscle deinsertion at the globe that might not be safe and lead to prolonged postoperative extraocular muscle dysfunction. In this article, the authors described a modified 3-handed extracapsular technique for the resection of a large OACH without an additional procedure for rectus muscle control. The aim is to achieve a safe gross total tumor removal while minimizing the procedure-related complications. An intraoperative video is included, along with a stepwise cadaveric dissection relevant to the approach. CLINICAL PRESENTATION A 71-year-old female presented with progressive left-sided blurred vision, binocular diplopia, and mild proptosis. Contrast-enhanced brain MRI revealed a large heterogeneous enhanced inferomedial intraconal mass in the left orbital apex, mostly consistent with cavernous hemangioma. Gross total tumor removal was achieved through a modified 3-handed endoscopic endonasal extracapsular approach. The diplopia was resolved, and significant visual improvement was achieved. Computed tomography scan demonstrated complete tumor removal, and histological examination confirmed the diagnosis. CONCLUSION Endoscopic endonasal resection of large OACH can be feasibly performed by using a modified 3-handed extracapsular technique through the generous use of Q-tip swab applicators within the natural separation plane around the tumor capsule and a sequential traction-countertraction method. Subsequently, a gross total removal and optimal postoperative functional outcome are attainable through minimal rectus muscle fiber violation and intraconal fat manipulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sinonasal neoplasms, whether benign and malignant, pose a significant challenge to clinicians and represent a model area for multidisciplinary collaboration in order to optimize patient care. The International Consensus Statement on Allergy and Rhinology: Sinonasal Tumors (ICSNT) aims to summarize the best available evidence and presents 48 thematic and histopathology-based topics spanning the field. METHODS In accordance with prior International Consensus Statement on Allergy and Rhinology documents, ICSNT assigned each topic as an Evidence-Based Review with Recommendations, Evidence-Based Review, and Literature Review based on the level of evidence. An international group of multidisciplinary author teams were assembled for the topic reviews using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses format, and completed sections underwent a thorough and iterative consensus-building process. The final document underwent rigorous synthesis and review prior to publication. RESULTS The ICSNT document consists of four major sections: general principles, benign neoplasms and lesions, malignant neoplasms, and quality of life and surveillance. It covers 48 conceptual and/or histopathology-based topics relevant to sinonasal neoplasms and masses. Topics with a high level of evidence provided specific recommendations, while other areas summarized the current state of evidence. A final section highlights research opportunities and future directions, contributing to advancing knowledge and community intervention. CONCLUSION As an embodiment of the multidisciplinary and collaborative model of care in sinonasal neoplasms and masses, ICSNT was designed as a comprehensive, international, and multidisciplinary collaborative endeavor. Its primary objective is to summarize the existing evidence in the field of sinonasal neoplasms and masses.

Abstract
The treatment of pathologies located within and surrounding the orbit poses considerable surgical challenges, due to the intricate presence of critical neurovascular structures in such deep, confined spaces. Historically, transcranial and craniofacial approaches have been widely employed to deal with orbital pathologies. However, recent decades have witnessed the emergence of minimally invasive techniques aimed at reducing morbidity. Among these techniques are the endoscopic endonasal approach and the subsequently developed endoscopic transorbital approach (ETOA), encompassing both endonasal and transpalpebral approaches. These innovative methods not only facilitate the management of intraorbital lesions but also offer access to deep-seated lesions within the anterior, middle, and posterior cranial fossa via specific transorbital and endonasal corridors. Contemporary research indicates that ETOAs have demonstrated exceptional outcomes in terms of morbidity rates, cosmetic results, and complication rates. This study aims to provide a comprehensive description of endoscopic-assisted techniques that enable a 360° access to the orbit and its surrounding regions. The investigation will delve into indications, advantages, and limitations associated with different approaches, while also drawing comparisons between endoscopic approaches and traditional microsurgical transcranial approaches.

Endonasal Endoscopic Anatomy of the Orbito-Cavernous-Pterygopalatine Interface: Multilayer Anatomical Description and Landmarks to Define the Limits of the Compartments. World Neurosurg 2023; 178:e79-e95. [PMID: 37422190 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2023.06.139] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2023] [Revised: 06/28/2023] [Accepted: 06/29/2023] [Indexed: 07/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite growing interest in the endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) to the medial orbital apex (OA), a comprehensive description of the multilayer topology lying at the intersection of the regional compartments is missing. METHODS An EEA to the OA, pterygopalatine fossa, and cavernous sinus was performed in 20 specimens. A 360° layer-by-layer dissection was performed taking into consideration relevant anatomical aspects of the interface and documented with 3-dimensional technologies. Endoscopic landmarks were analyzed to provide an outline of the compartments and identify critical structures. Additionally, the consistency of a previously described reference called orbital apex convergence prominence was analyzed and a method to identify its position was introduced. RESULTS The orbital apex convergence prominence was an inconsistent finding (15%). However, a craniometric method introduced in this study proved to be reliable to reach the orbital apex convergence point. Additional structures such as the sphenoethmoidal suture and a 3-suture junction (sphenoethmoidal-palatoethmoidal-palatosphenoidal) helped to identify the posterior limit of the OA and define a keyhole to access the compartments of the interface. We defined the bone limits of the "optic risk zone," an area where the optic nerve is more susceptible to damage. Furthermore, an orbital fusion line (periorbita-dura-periosteum) was identified and divided into 4 segments according to adjacent structures: optic, cavernous, pterygopalatine, and infraorbital. CONCLUSIONS Understanding cranial landmarks and the folds of the layers covering the orbito-cavernous-pterygopalatine interface can facilitate tailoring an EEA to the medial orbital space and avoid unnecessary exposure of sensitive anatomy in the vicinity.

Orbital resection by intranasal technique (ORBIT): A new classification system for reporting endoscopically resectable primary benign orbital tumors. Int Forum Allergy Rhinol 2023; 13:1852-1863. [PMID: 36808854 DOI: 10.1002/alr.23141] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2022] [Revised: 02/05/2023] [Accepted: 02/07/2022] [Indexed: 02/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The Cavernous Hemangioma Exclusively Endonasal Resection (CHEER) staging system has become the gold standard for outcomes reporting in endoscopic orbital surgery for orbital cavernous hemangiomas (OCHs). A recent systematic review demonstrated similar outcomes between OCHs and other primary benign orbital tumors (PBOTs). Therefore, we hypothesized that a simplified and more comprehensive classification system could be developed to predict surgical outcomes of other PBOTs. METHODS Patient and tumor characteristics as well as surgical outcomes from 11 international centers were recorded. All tumors were retrospectively assigned an Orbital Resection by Intranasal Technique (ORBIT) class and stratified based on surgical approach as either exclusively endoscopic or combined (endoscopic and open). Outcomes based on approach were compared using chi-squared or Fisher's exact tests. The Cochrane-Armitage test for trend was used to analyze outcomes by class. RESULTS Findings from 110 PBOTs from 110 patients (age 49.0 ± 15.0 years, 51.9% female) were included in the analysis. Higher ORBIT class was associated with a lower likelihood of gross total resection (GTR). GTR was more likely to be achieved when an exclusively endoscopic approach was utilized (p < 0.05). Tumors resected using a combined approach tended to be larger, to present with diplopia, and to have an immediate postoperative cranial nerve palsy (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Endoscopic treatment of PBOTs is an effective approach, with favorable short-term and long-term postoperative outcomes as well as low rate of adverse events. The ORBIT classification system is an anatomic-based framework that effectively facilitates high-quality outcomes reporting for all PBOTs.

Abstract
Introduction Orbital surgery has always been disputed among specialists, mainly neurosurgeons, otorhinolaryngologists, maxillofacial surgeons and ophthalmologists. The orbit is a borderland between intra- and extracranial compartments; Krönlein's lateral orbitotomy and the orbitozygomatic infratemporal approach are the historical milestones of modern orbital-cranial surgery. Research question Since its first implementation, endoscopy has significantly impacted neurosurgery, changing perspectives and approaches to the skull base. Since its first application in 2009, transorbital endoscopic surgery opened the way for new surgical scenario, previously feasible only with extensive tissue dissection. Material and methods A PRISMA based literature search was performed to select the most relevant papers on the topic. Results Here, we provide a narrative review on the current state and future trends in endoscopic orbital surgery. Discussion and conclusion This manuscript is a joint effort of the EANS frontiers committee in orbital tumors and the EANS skull base section.

World Neurosurg 2023; 175:e1133-e1143. [PMID: 37100115 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2023.04.080] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2022] [Revised: 04/17/2023] [Accepted: 04/18/2023] [Indexed: 04/28/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) offers a minimally invasive route to treat medial intraconal space (MIS) lesions. Understanding the configuration of the ophthalmic artery (OphA) and the central retinal artery (CRA) is crucial. METHODS An EEA to the MIS was performed on 30 orbits. The description of the intraorbital part of the OphA was divided into 3 segments and classified as type 1 and type 2 and the MIS was divided into three surgical zones (A, B, C). The CRA's origin, course, and point of penetration (PP) were analyzed. The relationship between the position of the CRA in the MIS and the OphA type was analyzed. RESULTS The OphA type 2 was present in 20% of specimens. The site of origin of the CRA from the OphA was found on the medial surface in type 1 and on the lateral surface of type 2. The point of penetrationof the central retinal arterywas found in 87% of the specimens on the inferomedial surface, just anterior to the inferior muscular trunk, at an average distance of 9.5 mm ± 1 from the globe and 17 mm ± 1.5 from the AZ. The presence of the CRA in Zone C was associated only with OphA type 1. CONCLUSIONS OphA type 2 is a common finding and can compromise the feasibility of an EEA to the MIS. A detailed preoperative analysis of the OphA and CRA should be conducted prior to approaching the MIS due to the implications of the anatomical variations that can compromise safe intraconal maneuverability during an EEA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Orbital tumors are heterogeneous lesions originating from various structures in the eyeball, including the extraconal, conal, and intraconal spaces. One orbital tumor type is a vascular tumor, such as a hemangioma. Hemangiomas are most common in women aged 20-64 years. They are painless and slow-growing, leading to proptosis. The diagnosis can generally be established by clinical examination and computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging scans. Orbital hemangioma management can involve regular observation of small and asymptomatic tumors or surgery for large symptomatic tumors. PRESENTATION OF CASE We report a 20-year-old Asian woman who presented with swelling on the medial side of her right eyelid that had increased over the last three months. A non-contrast head CT scan showed a mass in the right eye's medial wall. The patient underwent a joint operation with an ophthalmologist to remove the median orbital tumor by transnasal endoscopic orbital surgery. Anatomical pathology examination of the tumor tissue identified hemangiomas. CONCLUSION An endoscopic transnasal approach is a safe and effective way to access and manage an orbital tumor medial to the optic nerve. It is essential to have a multidisciplinary team with experience in endoscopic procedures. This patient had satisfactory results at their three-month postoperative follow-up. They reported no symptoms, and their CT scan did not show a relapsed mass in the right oculi region.

Abstract
Background and Objective This study aims to evaluate the medicolegal trends related to 2 common orbital surgeries: orbital decompression and dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR). These procedures are performed by ophthalmologists, otolaryngologists, and multidisciplinary teams of both specialists. Methods The Westlaw database was reviewed from 1980 to 2020 for medical malpractice cases involving orbital decompression and DCR surgeries. Data were compiled on plaintiff and defendant demographics, procedure performed, legal allegation, nature of injury, and verdict or settlement awards. The Ophthalmic Mutual Insurance Company was also queried for all malpractice cases pertaining to orbital decompression and DCR from 1995 to 2021. Results The Westlaw database included 60 cases (34 orbital decompression, 26 DCR); of these, 8 orbital decompression and 6 DCR cases met inclusion criteria. Of the 7 orbital decompression cases that were tried, a verdict in favor of the plaintiff occurred in 4 cases (57%). Of the 5 DCR cases that were tried, a verdict in favor of the plaintiff occurred in 2 cases (40%). A search of all claims at OMIC yielded 31 cases (15 orbital decompression, 16 DCR). 22 of 31 cases were either dismissed or resulted in no payment. The remainder was settled out of court, with only one case being tried and the verdict supporting the defendant. Conclusion Despite several thousand orbital decompressions and DCR surgeries being performed annually in the US, very few lawsuits involving these complex surgeries have gone to trial. However, of the cases that did go to trial, a relatively high proportion of verdicts for plaintiffs was observed.

Abstract
Objective To examine the role of transnasal endoscopic approaches in the management of intraconal tumors and demonstrate the use of an eyelid speculum in comparison with different techniques of medial rectus muscle (MRM) retraction. Methods Retrospective data of five patients with intraconal tumors operated on and followed up by the senior authors between December 2019 and April 2022 was collected. Presenting symptoms, technical details, imaging and histology findings, outcomes, and complications were evaluated. Results Four primary and one recurrent tumor were identified. The mean patient age was 50 (range, 29–64) years. One tumor was located lateral to the optic nerve, one central and three medial. A complete surgical resection was obtained in four primary cases and a partial resection was achieved in the recurrent case. The MRM was retracted using three different techniques: (1) an infant eyelid speculum creating an operative window between the medial and inferior rectus muscle, (2) external MRM disinsertion transconjunctivally, (3) a four-handed technique performed transseptally by two surgeons. Transient postoperative ophthalmoplegia was recorded in four cases and transient ptosis in one. Three patients completely recovered in 2–3 months while one undergoing MRM disinsertion ended up in restricted strabismus at 15-month follow-up. No other long-term complications have been noted in all five patients with a mean follow-up of 22 (range, 14–32) months. No patients with primary tumors have required additional surgery for tumor recurrence. Conclusion The indication of endoscopic intraconal surgery may expand to lesions lateral to the optic nerve when the nerve is not in its natural position. The well-known advantages of the endoscopic techniques, namely the lack of external scars, better visualization, less bleeding, and fewer complications, were confirmed. An eye speculum provides a better surgical corridor and eases the pressure exerted on the MRM, which has a promising application prospect.

Abstract
Cavernous hemangioma is the most common benign orbital and vascular tumor in adults. It is mostly located intraconally. Nevertheless, when the location is extraconal, the displacement of the globe is opposite the tumor's position. We describe an unusual presentation of this tumor in a 75-year-old female. The only symptom was the presence of epiphora. In the clinical examination, a mass was palpated on the lower orbital rim of the right eye. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a well-circumscribed ovoid mass with a strong T2 hyperintensity and progressive contrast filling in T1. Excisional biopsy was performed, which confirmed the diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma. At five months of follow-up, there was no evidence of new symptoms.

Does reconstruction affect outcomes following exclusively endoscopic endonasal resection of benign orbital tumors: A systematic review with meta‐analysis.

Abstract
Objective As exclusively endoscopic endonasal resection of benign orbital tumors has become more widespread, high‐quality outcomes data are lacking regarding the decision of when and how to reconstruct the medial orbital wall following resection. The goal of this study was to systematically review pertinent literature to assess clinical outcomes relative to orbital reconstruction practices. Methods Data Sources: PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science. A systematic review of studies reporting exclusively endoscopic endonasal resections of benign orbital tumors was conducted. Articles not reporting orbital reconstruction details were excluded. Patient and tumor characteristics, operative details, and outcomes were recorded. Variables were compared using χ2, Fisher's exact, and independent t tests. Results Of 60 patients included from 24 studies, 34 (56.7%) underwent orbital reconstruction following resection. The most common types of reconstruction were pedicled flaps (n = 15, 44.1%) and free mucosal grafts (n = 11, 32.4%). Rigid reconstruction was uncommon (n = 3, 8.8%). Performance of orbital reconstruction was associated with preoperative vision compromise (p < 0.01). The tendency to forego orbital reconstruction was associated with preoperative proptosis (p < 0.001), larger tumor size (p = 0.001), and operative exposure of orbital fat (p < 0.001) and extraocular muscle (p = 0.035). There were no statistically significant differences between the reconstruction and nonreconstruction groups in terms of short‐ or long‐term outcomes when considering all patients. In patients with intraconal tumors, however, there was a higher rate of short‐term postoperative diplopia when reconstruction was foregone (p = 0.041). This potential benefit of reconstruction did not persist: At an average of two years postoperatively, all patients for whom reconstruction was foregone either had improved or unchanged diplopia. Conclusion Most outcomes assessed did not appear affected by orbital reconstruction status. This general equivalence may suggest that orbital reconstruction is not a necessity in these cases or that the decision to reconstruct was well‐selected by surgeons in the reported cases included in this systematic review. Question: Does orbital reconstruction affect outcomes following exclusively endoscopic endonasal resection of benign orbital tumors? Findings: In this systematic review and meta‐analysis of 60 patients included from 24 studies, there were no statistically significant differences between the reconstruction (n = 34, 56.7%) and non‐reconstruction groups in terms of short‐ or long‐term outcomes when considering all patients. In patients with intraconal tumors, however, there was a higher rate of short‐term (<2 years) post‐operative diplopia when reconstruction was foregone (p = 0.041). Meaning: Most outcomes assessed did not appear affected by orbital reconstruction status. This general equivalence may suggest that orbital reconstruction is not a necessity in these cases or that the decision to reconstruct was well‐selected by surgeons in the reported cases included in this systematic review.

Abstract
Traditionally, external craniofacial approaches have been used for orbital tumor resection. Over the last 30 years, endoscopic sinonasal and skull base techniques have become widely used throughout the world. These experiences paved the way for the extension of transnasal endoscopic techniques to the intraconal orbit. Transnasal endoscopic intraconal surgery has several advantages regarding morbidity and outcome as compared with purely external approaches. However, the anatomical knowledge and experience of the surgeon is crucial for the success of the surgery. Endoscopic approaches for intraconal tumor removal are feasible for medial and inferior lesions as well as for lesions lateral to the optic nerve provided they remain inferior to the "plane of resectability" and no optic nerve retraction is required. As intraorbital tumors are rare, new international staging systems including CHEER (Cavernous Hemangioma Exclusively Endonasal Resection) and ORBIT (Orbital Resection by Intranasal Technique) help to standardize safety, efficacy, and outcome.

Abstract
Intraorbital tumor could be approached by numerous surgical methods. The neuroendoscopic endonasal approach could provide a feasible corridor for indicated tumors. Herein we present a series of 6 consecutive intraorbital tumors from April 2018 to October 2020, which received endonasal endoscopic resection. Cadaveric dissection was performed for the intraconal approach, and the literature was also reviewed. Five tumors were located intraconally, while one extraconally. The pathology revealed 1 angioleiomyoma, 1 cavernous hemangioma, 1 pilocytic astrocytoma, 1 meningioma, and 2 schwannomas. Five of the six achieved gross total resection, including 3 tumors with lateral extension beyond the optic nerve. Preoperative visual deterioration was observed in 4 of the 6 patients, and all got improvement postoperatively. Transient oculomotor nerve palsy was presented in one patient postoperatively. No cerebrospinal fluid leakage, enophthalmos, or strabismus was observed. The median follow-up time is 27 months (11~41 months). At the 6-month follow-up, the visual acuity remained unchanged compared with that at discharge. Proptosis was resolved in 2 of the 3 patients; diplopia was improved in one patient. In conclusion, endoscopic endonasal intraconal approach could be suitable for selected pathological conditions, and for both medial or beyond medial extraconal and intraconal orbital tumors.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe a surgical approach for the resection of schwannomas occurring in the medial aspect of the orbit and to review a series of patients who underwent this novel technique. METHODS This retrospective, non-comparative case series presents the surgical technique and outcomes of patients who underwent removal of a medial orbital schwannoma via an endoscopic endonasal approach combined with a small-incision medial orbitotomy by a team of two surgeons (BSB and SKF). Patient demographics, pre- and post-operative clinical examination findings, visual field testing, and radiographic studies were reviewed. Operative reports were reviewed for technical details and complications. RESULTS The patients included a 12 year-old male, 73 year-old female and 8 year-old male. Indications for surgery included: decreased visual acuity, diplopia, proptosis and Humphrey visual field (HVF) deficit, in the presence of a medial orbital biopsy-proven schwannoma. The surgical approach in all three patients was primarily endoscopic endonasal. Additionally, two had transcaruncular orbitotomies and one had a small-incision medial lid crease orbitotomy to assist with lateral tumor dissection. Tumor resection was complete in one case and near-total in two cases. There were no intra-operative surgical complications. Average resected specimen volume was 3.41 cm3 ± 2.20. All patients had post-operative improvement in visual acuity (VA) and proptosis. Post-operative follow-up intervals were 27.5 months, 12.3 months and 3.5 months, respectively. CONCLUSION Resection of orbital schwannomas using an endoscopic endonasal approach with small-incision medial transorbital assistance is a safe and effective option for a multidisciplinary surgical team.

Abstract
The pterygopalatine fossa contains a dense and complex array of neurovascular structures vulnerable to accidental surgical injury. This study aims to describe a novel landmark, the orbito-pterygo-sphenoidal ligament (OPSL), and implications of this structure for surgery in the pterygopalatine fossa and the inferior orbital fissure. Six cadaveric specimens (12 sides) were dissected using an endonasal approach to expose the periosteal layers associated with the pterygopalatine fossa and orbit. The thickened triangular-shaped ligament at their confluence was termed the OPSL. Dimensions of its lateral, inferior, and medial borders were measured, and their anatomical relationships defined. The pterygopalatine ganglion and the maxillary nerve lie immediately inferior and deep into the OPSL. The superior aspect of the posterior nasoseptal artery and nerve are covered by the medial OPSL. The lateral and inferior borders of the OPSL are contiguous with the periorbita and the periosteum of the pterygopalatine fossa, respectively. Along the medial border of the ligament, the openings of the palatovaginal fissure, vidian canal, and foramen rotundum were sequentially identified in a medial to lateral trajectory. The length of the lateral, inferior, and medial borders of the triangular OPSL were 13.25 ± 0.62, 14.25 ± 0.45, and 12.08 ± 0.90 mm, respectively. The OPSL is a thick, triangular-shaped fascial confluence, which may serve as a landmark for procedures within the pterygopalatine fossa and the inferior orbital fissure.

World Neurosurg 2021; 153:e244-e249. [PMID: 34182179 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2021.06.089] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2021] [Revised: 06/16/2021] [Accepted: 06/17/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cavernous venous malformations (CVMs) represent the most common benign intraorbital lesions. Enlarging or symptomatic CVMs (progressive proptosis or visual disturbances) are treated by surgical resection. For this, a variety of different surgical approaches have been described. The aim of this study was to present a contemporary series of orbital CVMs treated via open microsurgical approaches. METHODS In this study, patients who underwent resection of orbital CVMs between 2002 and 2019 were included. Presenting symptoms were noted and neuro-ophthalmologic examinations performed pre- and postoperatively. For surgical resection, the location of the orbital CVM and its relation to the orbital anatomy led to decision-making for appropriate approaches. A comparison between anatomical location and surgical outcome was performed. RESULTS Overall, 35 patients with orbital CVMs were included. Most common presenting symptoms were progressive proptosis (43%) and visual disturbances (34%). Most common location was the lateral quadrant (37%) followed by the superior quadrant (20%). A subfrontal craniotomy was performed in 40% of cases followed by a supraorbital craniotomy including the orbital rim in 34% of cases. For surgical excision, a cryo-probe was used in 30 patients, and complete resection was feasible in all cases. Location of a CVM within the superior quadrant was associated with improved postoperative recovery of visual acuity. No differences for clinical outcomes were observed depending on the surgical approach. CONCLUSIONS Resection of orbital CVMs is indicated in patients with visual disturbances or progressive proptosis. In these, microsurgical approaches can be used with minimal morbidity for complete removal of these well-circumscribed lesions.

Abstract
PURPOSE Multiple surgical approaches have been described to maximize visualization and accessibility for resection while minimizing morbidity in the patient with orbital intraconal tumors. Transnasal endoscopic approaches have become increasingly standard in select orbital cavernous venous malformations but often require a partial septectomy. The purpose of this manuscript is to communicate a septal preserving modified transseptal approach. METHODS A 37-year old male was found to have an inferomedial intraconal orbital mass, measuring up to 2.6 cm on magnetic resonance imaging. Binarial transseptal access with septal preservation was obtained with a Killian incision on the right and a small incision in the midseptum on the left. RESULTS Successful tumor delivery through the nasal cavity resulted in orbital relaxation. Postoperative evaluation of the septum demonstrated an intact septum with nearly no evidence of septal trauma from surgical manipulation. CONCLUSION This technique is easily performed and affords adequate visualization and freedom of movement as traditional binarial transseptal approaches without the disadvantages of partial septal loss such as increased crusting, olfactory disturbance, and loss of nasoseptal flaps.

Minimally Invasive 360-Degree Approach to Intraconal Orbital Tumors. Am J Ophthalmol 2021; 224:301-309.

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 1.8:1. 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.

Abstract
Historically, surgical access to orbital tumors has required a transcutaneous, transconjunctival or transcranial approach. Resection of orbital tumors is notoriously challenging due to the surrounding dense network of critical structures in a confined bony cavity. Advances in endoscopic endonasal surgery, initially used for sinonasal and skull base conditions, have allowed for expansion of its applications beyond the sinorbital interface. In the past decade, the evolution of techniques has enabled a purely endoscopic, minimally invasive approach to medially located orbital pathology with good outcomes. With experience and multidisciplinary collaboration between orbit and rhinologic surgeons, this has expanded to allow for a safe and effective transnasal approach to nearly all regions of the orbit with or without assistance from the orbital side. This review summarizes the relevant anatomy, variations of surgical approaches, and literature regarding outcomes of the endoscopic endonasal approach to orbital tumors.

Abstract
Purpose We present a unique case of an orbital intraconal cavernous venous malformation that extended along the trigeminal nerve to the pterygopalatine and middle cranial fossa. Our aim is to describe an atypical presentation of this common orbital vascular mass. Observations A 57-year-old female presented with right eye proptosis. Orbital magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a lobulated contrast-enhancing mass involving the right intraconal orbital space, pterygopalatine fossa, and right middle cranial fossa, radiographically presumed to be a schwannoma. Intraoperative and histopathologic evaluation confirmed a cavernous venous malformation that extended along the trigeminal nerve. The mass, including its attachments to the cranial nerves and dura, was successfully removed via a combined transorbital and endoscopic endonasal approach. The patient recovered well with 20/20 vision, full extraocular movements, and resolution of proptosis. Conclusions This a rare presentation of an orbital cavernous venous malformation not previously described. Cavernous venous malformations typically present as ovoid well-circumscribed lesions; however, they can also extend outside the orbit along the path of cranial nerves, as was observed in this case. These types of lesions should be included in the differential diagnosis of masses arising from or extending along cranial nerves, even when involving the orbit.

Abstract
Orbital hemangiomas are the most common primary neoplasm of the orbit and manifest as two distinct pathologic entities: infantile hemangiomas and cavernous hemangiomas. In this article, both infantile and cavernous hemangiomas are reviewed, with special attention paid to the natural history, clinical presentation, and management teams and approaches involved. An example case of each type of hemangioma is presented along with pearls and tips a reader can take away after reading this article.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Cavernous Hemangioma Exclusively Endonasal Resection (CHEER) classification system was developed to standardize prospective outcome analysis following orbital cavernous hemangioma (OCH) resection. The goal of this study was to retroactively apply the CHEER system to all prior existing reports of endoscopic resection of primary benign orbital tumors (BOTs) to: (1) compare patient presentations, perioperative characteristics, and outcomes between OCH and other BOTs; and (2) determine whether the CHEER categorization regime could be expanded to other BOTs. METHODS A systematic review of studies reporting exclusively endoscopic resections of OCH and other BOTs (eg, solitary fibrous tumor, schwannoma, and meningioma) was performed. Patient, tumor characteristics, and operative outcomes were recorded. All tumors with adequate reporting were retrospectively assigned a CHEER stage. Outcomes were compared using chi-square or Fisher's exact tests. RESULTS Ninety-three studies met inclusion criteria, and sufficient data were available in 36 studies, comprising 105 tumors (n = 87 OCHs; n = 18 other BOTs). Baseline patient and tumor characteristics, as well as intraoperative and short-term postoperative outcomes were not significantly different between OCHs and other BOTs. Long-term outcomes (eg, visual deficits, diplopia, eye position, and recurrence) also did not differ when controlling for CHEER stage. CONCLUSION This review represents the largest collection of outcomes data following exclusively endoscopic endonasal resection of BOTs. Short-term and long-term outcomes appear similar between OCHs and other BOTs. These results suggest that exclusively endoscopic resection of orbital tumors may be effective in a range of benign pathologies. Furthermore, these results support a broader application of the CHEER system to other benign primary orbital tumors.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Orbital disease represents a diverse spectrum of pathology and can result in a variety of neuro-ophthalmic manifestations. The aim of this review is to provide updates on recent advances in our understanding of orbital disease secondary to thyroid eye disease, myositis, IgG4-related disease, sarcoidosis, granulomatosis with polyangiitis and various tumours. RECENT FINDINGS With regards to thyroid eye disease, there have been recent advances in the development of steroid-sparing therapies, new modalities for objectively monitoring disease activity and increased understanding of the role of environmental risk factors. There has been interest in characterizing the clinical course and underlying mechanism of optic nerve disease secondary to orbital disorders, which has led to advances in how we monitor for and prevent permanent vision loss. Increased knowledge of orbital tumour subtype histopathology and the development of novel classification systems has had prognostic value and aided medical decision-making. SUMMARY Orbital disease occurs secondary to a wide variety of diseases and can lead to neuro-ophthalmic manifestations with significant morbidity. Advances in our understanding of different subtypes of orbital disease have improved our ability to treat these potentially debilitating conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Imaging is essential in the diagnostic work-up of patients with orbital lesions. The position of an orbital lesion relative to the inferomedial muscular trunk of the ophthalmic artery determines endoscopic resectability, anticipated technical difficulty, and patient morbidity. Although the inferomedial muscular trunk is not readily identifiable on preoperative imaging, we hypothesize that it is spatially approximate to the location where the ophthalmic artery crosses the optic nerve. Our aim was to determine whether the ophthalmic artery-optic nerve crosspoint anatomically approximates the inferomedial muscular trunk in a cadaver study and can be appreciated on imaging of known posteromedial orbital lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS Dissection was performed on 17 fresh-frozen cadaver orbits to assess the relationship between the inferomedial muscular trunk and ophthalmic artery-optic nerve crosspoint. Retrospective review of imaging in 9 patients with posteromedial orbital lesions assessed posteromedial orbital compartment characteristics and the ability to locate the ophthalmic artery-optic nerve crosspoint. RESULTS In our cadaver study, the mean distance between the ophthalmic artery-optic nerve crosspoint and the inferomedial muscular trunk was 1.21 ± 0.64 mm. Retrospectively, the ophthalmic artery-optic nerve crosspoint was identifiable in 9/9 patients, whereas the inferomedial muscular trunk was not identifiable in any patient. Total or partial effacement of the posteromedial intraconal fat triangle was observed in 9/9 patients. CONCLUSIONS This study of neurovascular relationships within the posteromedial orbit demonstrates that the ophthalmic artery-optic nerve crosspoint closely approximates the inferomedial muscular trunk and can be seen in patients with posteromedial orbital lesions. Posteromedial intraconal fat effacement may help to localize these lesions. These findings may facilitate multidisciplinary communication and help predict lesion resectability and patient outcomes.

Abstract
Orbital pathology requiring surgery can be planned based on the nature of the disease and the position of this relative to the globe and optic nerve complex. Multidisciplinary treatment is now common, and this sometimes includes multiple surgical corridors employed for approach. The orbit is also now frequently used as a corridor to intracranial pathology, and these same processes may be applied. Combined surgical approaches, whether at the same time or staged, allow for minimization of manipulation of critical neurovascular structures in complex skull base pathology.

Abstract
Endoscopic endonasal approaches offer an important alternative in the management of posterior inferomedial orbital pathology. Beginning with endoscopic orbital decompressions for Graves' disease, the endonasal corridor for the management of intra- and extraconal pathologies has continued to evolve. Endonasal removal of orbital cavernous hemangiomas is well described in the literature; however, many other benign and malignant pathologies of the medial orbit can be accessed through this approach. Advantages of the endonasal approach include improved visualization and decreased manipulation of orbital contents in the medial and posterior orbit. Additionally, for tumors that extend from the paranasal sinuses into the orbit, this corridor may be ideal for concurrent management. The current literature for this approach will be reviewed including the oncologic results, complications, limitations, and reconstructive needs along with pertinent anatomy. In addition, data from our own institution will be reviewed.

Abstract
Introduction The endoscopic endonasal approach to management of orbital pathology has
expanded. Due to the rarity of these conditions, most reports in the
literature consist of small case reports. We report a series from a single
institution with a focus on outcomes. Methods A retrospective chart review was carried out between 2010 and 2018. Results Twenty-four patients were identified (average age 58 years, 15 males, 9
females). Average follow-up was 14.9 months. Most common etiologies included
cavernous hemangioma (7), metastases (6), idiopathic orbital inflammatory
syndrome (6), orbital hematoma/clot (2), and schwannoma (1). Most common
presenting symptoms were decreased visual acuity (8), proptosis (8),
diplopia (7), and incidental findings (2). All patients underwent endoscopic
medial wall orbital decompressions. Sixteen involved a combined open
approach by an ophthalmologist. Pathology was either biopsied (15), resected
(6), or could not be identified (3). No intraoperative complications were
noted. No patients underwent orbital reconstruction of the medial wall. Six
patients developed postoperative sinusitis successfully managed with
antibiotics. One patient developed epistaxis managed conservatively. In 5
patients, Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 scores increased immediately postop and
then decreased, whereas scores only decreased in 6 patients. Six patients
noted reduced proptosis. There were no new cases of diplopia or worsening
visual acuity. Conclusions A combined endoscopic endonasal and external approach can be useful for
managing orbital lesions. Patients tolerated the procedure well with
improvement in ocular symptoms and minimal sinonasal complications.
Reconstruction of the medial wall may not be warranted to prevent
postoperative diplopia.

Abstract
PURPOSE We describe a novel technique for endonasal endoscopic orbital surgery. Previously described strategies for minimally invasive orbital surgery include mobilization of the medial rectus muscle and cryosurgical retraction of the pathologic lesion. Herein we describe endoscopic trans-septal suture retraction of an orbital cavernous hemangioma to facilitate intra-orbital dissection from an external approach. METHODS A 36-year-old male presented with blurred vision in his left eye for several years, along with several months of progressive left proptosis and decreasing visual acuity. Imaging revealed a 2.5 cm orbital mass consistent with a cavernous hemangioma. The patient underwent a combined transconjunctival and endoscopic approach for resection. RESULTS Following left medial orbital wall and floor decompression, endoscopic trans-septal suture retraction facilitated dissection of the lesion from intraorbital structures. A complete extracapsular resection of the lesion was achieved. The inferomedial orbit was reconstructed with a synthetic implant. CONCLUSION Trans-septal suture retraction is an effective adjunctive technique for endonasal endoscopic orbital tumor surgery. This technique facilitates safe retraction and dissection of soft tissue lesions from critical intraorbital structures.

Abstract
Endoscopic endonasal orbital surgery is evolving. With increasing knowledge, expertise, and technology, the historical limits of the endonasal endoscopic approach to the orbit have been redefined. This review discusses the clinical presentation and etiology, and highlights the pertinent anatomy, and discusses the diagnostic workup and surgical approach to orbital tumors and post-operative care. The role of the multidisciplinary team is not to be underestimated. The introduction of a classification system to ensure standardization of technical difficulty and outcome data will assist with international collaboration and further consolidate our attainment of knowledge in this developing field.

Abstract
Introduction Endoscopic orbital surgery requires the acquisition of unique skill set including endoscopic bimanual dissection of intra/extraconal lesions adherent to orbital fat and neurovascular structures. Our goal was to develop a modular cadaveric model used to train surgeons to resect orbital pathology within any desired orbital compartment. Methods Expansile superabsorbent polymer (SAP) beads (2 mm) were soaked in Omnipaque™ (Iohexol) solution for 15 minutes prior to transcaruncular orbital implantation using 10-gauge angiocath. Insertion depth was designed to implant beads in predetermined intraconal compartments corresponding to established orbital tumor stages. Beads were left to expand in situ over a period of 1 to 5 hours. Computed tomography scans were performed using the FUSION image guidance protocol. Model utility and learning curves were assessed by quantifying resection time over 8 sequential attempts. Results All 24 beads were successfully implanted in 8 orbits corresponding to CHEER stage II to IV lesions (n = 3 per orbit). Beads expanded from 2 mm to an average of 5.2 mm within 1 hour. During expansion, the beads interpolated into the adjacent fascia similar to in vivo tumors. Average insertion time was 5:53 minutes per orbit (range, 3:24–10:33 min) and average time to bead identification was 10:47 minutes. Across all beads, dissection times decreased in a nonsignificant manner over 8 consecutive attempts. Conclusion The directed implantation of expansile SAP beads in this cadaveric model accurately replicates the approach, identification, and resection of isolated orbital lesions. This orbital model can assist the endoscopic surgical team to develop further knowledge and technical skill sets to approach orbital lesions. Further ongoing studies to validate this model are currently underway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this work was to present our single-center experience on orbital cavernous hemangiomas managed using an endonasal endoscopic approach. METHODS The study design used was one-institutional retrospective review. Twenty-three cases of orbital cavernous hemangioma were analyzed and followed up. RESULTS There were 10 males and 13 females, with an average age of 46.1 years, included in our study. Seven cases were extraconal, 16 cases were intraconal, and in 10 of the patients the optic nerve was involved and compressed. Total resection of the tumor was achieved in 16 cases; of the remaining 7 cases, partial tumor resection and orbital decompression were conducted, orbital decompression was conducted in 2 cases, and orbital decompression and optic nerve decompression were conducted in 3 cases. Visual acuity in 9 patients improved significantly, as 16 of the 20 patients with a preoperative visual field defect had a smaller defect after surgery. CONCLUSION This study adds to the literature showing that endoscopic transnasal surgery is likely a reasonable option for patients with the orbital cavernous hemangiomas medial of the optic nerve. With greater experience, skilled surgical technique, and careful operation, better clinical efficacy can be achieved.
