OBJECTIVE

To demonstrate own experience in 3D modeling for planning of minimally invasive approach to the orbit and anterior skull base.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

A 17-year-old patient admitted to the Department of Pediatric Neurosurgery with complaints of decreased visual acuity of the left eye, lacrimation and exophthalmos. MRI revealed a tumor of the left orbit. We have preoperatively modeled frontoorbital region, anterior skull, as well as eyeball and tumor within the same model. Considering young age and potentially favorable prognosis of disease, we preferred a minimally invasive intervention (microsurgical resection of tumor through minimally invasive frontoorbital access).

RESULTS

Total resection of tumor was followed by examination of anterior skull base. There was postoperative regression of visual disturbances, lacrimation and exophthalmos. Sutures were removed after 5 days, and the patient was discharged.

CONCLUSION

Minimally invasive frontoorbital access is adequate for approach to the orbit, anterior and middle cranial fossa, adequate resection of orbital tumor and examination of anterior skull base. 3D modeling is an additional preoperative tool to improve the quality of preoperative planning and facilitate intraoperative navigation.
