abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The management of orbital tumours has evolved significantly over the last two decades, as the body of knowledge about these tumours grows and new techniques are introduced that reduce surgical morbidity. The purpose of this review is to highlight and evaluate the most recent advancements in the management of these tumours.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Several recent retrospective series emphasize the broad range of pathologic processes that can arise within the orbit. In addition, there have been a number of recent studies describing advances in endonasal endoscopic techniques for resection of orbital tumours.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This articles summarizes the current opinion regarding the management of orbital tumours. Recent studies reviewing the range of diseases that affect the orbit and technical advances are summarized.
