Modified orbitozygomatic craniotomy for craniopharyngioma resection in children.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECT: In this study, the authors evaluated the efficacy and safety of modified orbitozygomatic craniotomy for resection of craniopharyngioma in children. METHODS: A prospective, institutional review board-approved database was retrospectively ... Read more...

A morphometric study of the inferior orbital fissure using three-dimensional anatomical landmarks: application to orbital surgery.

30 Aug 2009 The inferior orbital fissure (IOF) is an important structure during orbital surgery, however, neither its anatomical features nor the procedures necessary to expose the IOF have been examined in detail. A morphometric analysis of the IOF was ... Read more...

Cavernous sinus thrombophlebitis caused by porphyromonas gingivalis with abscess formation extending to the orbital cavity. Case report.

30 Jul 2009 A 67-year-old man presented with a rare case of cavernous sinus thrombophlebitis (CST) caused by Porphyromonas gingivalis with abscess formation extending to the orbital cavity. Neuroimaging demonstrated a cystic lesion in the right cavernous sinus ... Read more...
