A two-step supraorbital approach to lesions of the orbital apex. Technical note

J Neurosurg. 1992 Dec;77(6):959-61. doi: 10.3171/jns.1992.77.6.0959.

Abstract

A two-step supraorbital approach to lesions of the orbital apex is described. This technique is easy and allows a satisfactory exposure of the region. In addition, the reconstruction resulting from the procedure is anatomically perfect. The authors report the operative results obtained in 20 patients and compare this two-step supraorbital procedure with similar surgical techniques described previously.
