Combined Upper Fornix Transconjunctival and Endoscopic Transnasal Approach for Frontoethmoidal Osteoma with Orbital Extension - A Case Report.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale

Intraorbital osteomas are incidentally found and occasionally require surgical treatment. Depending on their localisation, a single technique may not provide a sufficient surgical field.

Patient concerns

We report a 16-year-old male with a left upper medial palpable mass.
