Abstract:
Congenitalgiant orbital tumors in infancy are relatively rare, especially when the tumors are associated with significant
intracranial extension. We describe the use of a transorbital neuroendoscopy-assisted resection of such a lesion. While this
approach is increasingly gaining popularity for certain anterior and middle skullbase lesions in adults, this report represents
the youngest patient reported on where this minimally invasive approach has been successfully used to resect the intracranial
tumor. This surgical approach obviated the need for a separate craniotomy, with the additional benefit of minimizing blood
loss.
