Radical resection and reconstruction in spheno-ethmoidal-orbital tumors. Report of 3 cases

Abstract

Three cases of radical exenteration of spheno-ethmoidal-orbital tumors followed by plastic reconstruction of the cranial basis are described. The technique utilized has recently been developed and described by Derôme and is particularly satisfactory for benign and slow-growing malignant tumors of this region. The indications, preparation and collaborations are described, as well as the advantages and drawbacks to the procedure.
