An intracranial/extracranial approach for the surgical management of haemangiomas of the orbit and eyelid.
The authors propose a combined approach for the treatment of orbito-palpebral haemangiomas. Two cases are presented and discussed. Pre-operative evaluation included coronal, axial, and sagittal CT scans as well as a selective arteriogram. These studies assisted the planning of the surgical approach. An intracranial/extracranial surgical approach was used with ocular-palpebral dissection. Pre-operative arterial embolization was helpful in controlling perioperative blood loss. Precise excision of the masses was thus accomplished and functional and aesthetic reconstruction aided by the conservation of normal anatomical structures.
