Case in brief
This case series discusses the management of complex orbital schwannomas using the endoscopic transorbital approach (ETOA). The tumors, often extending into the cavernous sinus, were challenging to excise with traditional methods. ETOA provided improved visualization and precision, leading to successful apical tumor removal with fewer complications and excellent cosmetic outcomes.
Diagnostic / clinical pearl
The endoscopic transorbital approach offers a minimally invasive alternative for excising complex orbital schwannomas, enhancing surgical precision and reducing morbidity.
Why it matters
This approach may improve patient outcomes in terms of function and aesthetics compared to conventional surgical techniques.
