title: Surgical strategies for combined intraorbital and intracranial tumors.
abstract: Three unusual cases of combined intraorbital-intracranial tumors of various types which were chosen from cases treated in the Clinic and Polyclinic of Neurosurgery of the University of Münster, to demonstrate the problems of surgical therapy. A list of indications for the various accesses to the orbita is worked out. Close co-operation among the neurosurgeon, the ophtalmologist, the oto-rhino-laryngologist and the maxillofacial surgeon is necessary. All facets of the patient's condition and situation must be taken into consideration when planning therapy.
