Orbital Tumors Excision Surgery - Two way Approach (Subcranial and Orbital)
History of multiple surgeries for a right eye deformity
The patient is a 38 year old male from Virajpet in India who first noticed a swelling that was gradually causing his right eye to become displaced outwardly around ten years ago. This had begun as a small swelling near his right eye with a gradual increase in size. The swelling had gradually grown in size to the point that the patient developed double vision. His day to day activities of daily living began to get disrupted and this was beginning to affect his work as well as family life. It was at this point that he decided to seek medical help.
He sought medical help for the first time around ten years ago at a hospital near his hometown for this gradually developing swelling. Comprehensive imaging studies including CT scans had been obtained and a bony growth was noticed in the right orbital cavity. Subsequently, he had undergone two surgeries to address this condition at that same hospital.
The first surgery was through a bicoronal approach and the second was performed through the use of an endoscope. Both surgeries however were unsuccessful in addressing his complaints and he subsequently developed a severe infection in the area after surgery. Healing of the surgical site had been delayed due to the infection.
This was a very difficult period for him and his family as he was not able to work during this entire phase. He was also ultimately not satisfied with the results of the two surgeries and was beginning to go into a depression because of his deteriorating vision.
It was then that he approached an oral and maxillofacial surgeon in his hometown. Realizing that this was also a craniofacial problem, the surgeon referred him to Balaji Dental and Craniofacial Hospital in Chennai for definitive management of his problem. Our hospital is renowned for facial asymmetry surgery and craniofacial surgery in India. Cranial deformity surgery is performed routinely at our hospital for syndromic patients with Apert’s, Crouzon, Franceschetti and other syndromes that cause craniofacial deformities.
