Abstract

Tumours in the posterosuperomedial orbital space are hard to remove because of their site. However, medial orbitotomy without opening the ethmoid sinus produces a wide enough view and a direct route without complications. Posterosuperomedial orbital tumours can therefore be safely, accurately, and easily removed.
