title: [Orbital tumors: experience with 35 cases].
abstract: Tumors of the orbit are pathology of considerable complexity in management due to the diverse anatomic and muscular, vascular, cartilagenous and neural components present. We review a series of 35 cases managed at the National Institute of Cancer in Bogota, Colombia. We determine variables such as age, sex, symptoms, histology, location and surgical procedure of these tumors. This review suggest that this complex pathology should be managed by a multidisciplinary team with extensive neurosurgical experience to obtain satisfactory results.
