Abstract
Application into clinical practice of a minimally invasive surgical approach to the removal of hyperostotic cranioorbital meningiomas.
This publication is based on the analysis of a clinical case of 49-year-old woman with exophthalmos, and the absence of neurological deficits. A non-standard approach to remove a cranio-orbital hyperostotic meningioma through a minimally invasive orbito-zygomatic approach was used.
The main principle of proposed surgical approach was to remove first the hyperostosis, followed by the areas of dura mater involved by the tumor, according to the "outside-in" principle. According to the intraoperative process and the results of MRI control, it was possible to achieve total removal of both the affected dura mater and the hyperostotic lesion.
The minimally invasive transorbital approach opens a wide corridor for surgery of the para and retroorbital space and allows using the "outside-in" method, to remove not only hyperostosis but also the area of damage to the dura mater.
