Purpose: We describe the efficacy of lateral transorbital canthopexy using a silicone tube in managing severe paralytic ectropion.
Methods: Patients with paralytic ectropion involving at least two-third of lower eyelid length and scleral exposure of 3 mm or more were considered. A silicone prosthetic was inserted during canthopexy.
Results: Lateral transorbital canthopexy using a silicone tube was performed on 10 eyelids in nine patients. All patients had corneal surface abnormalities. Scleral exposure resolved completely in three cases. At 8-month follow-up, residual scleral exposure of 1 mm and 2 mm persisted in = 6 and = 1 cases, respectively.
Conclusions: Lateral transorbital canthopexy using a silicone tube is an effective therapeutic option for paralytic ectropion, facilitating both functional and cosmetic results that proved durable over time.

Transorbital laser surgery for epilepsy: Anatomic-radiological feasibility of transorbital magnetic resonance imaging-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (MRIgLITT) for amygdalohippocampectomy in refractory epilepsy.
Clin Neurol Neurosurg
January 2025
Department of Neurosurgery, Hospital Clínic de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain; Universitat de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain; Institut d'Investigacions Biomèdiques August Pi i Sunyer (IDIBAPS), Barcelona, Spain.
Objective: to study the anatomical feasibility of laser fiber insertion for interstitial thermal therapy via transorbital approach to the temporo-mesial structures (amygdala-hippocampus-parahippocampus complex).
Methods: Anatomical dissections were performed bilaterally on two human cadaveric heads via a transorbital approach, in which screws and laser fibers were used for magnetic resonance imaging-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (MRIgLITT) assisted by neuronavigation. In addition, eight transorbital trajectories were simulated using the transorbital entry points obtained from a cadaveric radiological study of four patients previously operated on for mesial temporal lobe epilepsy.
Advantages and limitations of orbital rim resection in transorbital endoscopic approach: an anatomical study.
Acta Neurochir (Wien)

Background: Endoscopic transorbital approach (eTOA) has been recently proposed as an alternative skull base approach. However, its feasibility for deeper lesions can be hampered by a reduced surgical maneuverability. Aim of this study is to consider how its extension through orbital rim resection can overcome this limitation, and to compare two different techniques for its removal.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the transorbital approach (TO) for accessing vascular lesions, specifically the carotid and middle cerebral arteries, using cadaveric specimens to understand its feasibility for vascular clipping.
- Dissection involved a stepwise TO method that included procedures like lateral orbital craniectomy and anterior clinoidectomy, allowing for exposure of various vascular segments and cranial nerves.
- Findings suggest that the TO approach effectively exposes key artery segments, indicating its potential use in treating paraclinoid and posterior communicating aneurysms.
Biphenotypic Sinonasal Sarcoma with Orbital Invasion: A Literature Review and Modular System of Surgical Approaches.

Article Synopsis
- - Biphenotypic sinonasal sarcoma is a rare, low-grade tumor found in the sinonasal tract, known for its aggressive growth and tendency to spread to surrounding areas like the orbit and skull base.
- - A comprehensive study reviewed 31 cases, highlighting that it primarily affects middle-aged women, with surgery being the main treatment method, resulting in a gross total resection in two-thirds of the patients.
- - The endoscopic endonasal approach was the most common surgical method, with a local recurrence rate of 19.3% and a low mortality rate, indicating that effective management of the tumor primarily relies on surgery.
Endoscopic transorbital approach for recurrent spheno-orbital meningiomas: single center case series.

Endoscopic transorbital approaches (ETOAs) are finding wide application for skull base lesions, particularly for spheno-orbital meningiomas (SOMs). These tumors have high recurrence rates, and second surgery can often represent a challenge. In this study we analyze our experience of management of recurrent SOMs through a slightly modified eyelid crease approach.
