title: [Diagnosis and treatment of neoplasms involving the cranio-orbital region].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the diagnosis and microneurosurgical treatment of neoplasms involving the cranio-orbital region.
  
  
  METHODS
  Clinical manifestations, neuroradiological features, operative technique and postoperative complications in 16 cases of cranio-orbital region neoplasms were reviewed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Total resection was achieved in 5 cases, and subtotal resection in 8 cases. No operative death was observed.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The neoplasms involving the cranio-orbital region are uncommon. Total resection is difficult in most cases. Postoperative complications are severe and should be avoided if possible.
