Endoscope-Assisted Removal of Post-Traumatic Orbital Epidermoid Inclusion Cyst: A Useful Adjunct

Orbital epidermoid cysts are uncommon lesions within the bony orbit with varied symptomatology related to both the eye and the sino-nasal system. They are often slow-growing cystic masses which may cause facial asymmetry and visual loss due to pressure symptoms. Cross-sectional imaging such as compu...

description Orbital epidermoid cysts are uncommon lesions within the bony orbit with varied symptomatology related to both the eye and the sino-nasal system. They are often slow-growing cystic masses which may cause facial asymmetry and visual loss due to pressure symptoms. Cross-sectional imaging such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are contributory and useful for assessment of the size and actual extent and should be mandatory before planning any surgical intervention. Open approaches and needle aspiration have been traditionally described; however, the use of the rigid nasal endoscope in the intraorbital compartment is a useful adjunct for exploration of the extent of the lesion and for complete surgical clearance. In this report, a 69 years old female with an old post- traumatic orbital epidermoid cyst which was removed completely using an endoscope via transorbital route was presented with the review of literature.
