Removal of a Cavernous Hemangioma in the Orbital Apex via the Endoscopic Transnasal Approach: A Case Report

Abstract

The endoscopic transnasal approach is a safe, effective, and less invasive therapeutic modality for the removal of lesions extending from the infero-medial part of the left orbital apex to the pterygopalatine fossa. With appropriate patient selection, this approach improves access and visualization, and it enables performance of operative procedures with much less risk than the conventional microscopic transcranial or transfacial approaches.
