title: A simple technique for removal of orbital tumors: transmaxillary approach.
abstract: In this article, we present the case of a 43-year-old female with a tumor of the orbital base. Computed tomography revealed a well-defined contrast enhancing cavernous hemangioma behind the left bulbus oculi. The surgical resection was performed by transmaxillary approach to the orbit. No clinical complications were observed during three-month follow-up following surgery.
