Surgical management and postoperative outcomes of orbital cavernous malformations: A systematic literature review by the EANS skull base section.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Orbital cavernous malformations (OCMs) are benign vascular lesions frequently associated with progressive proptosis and visual disturbances due to their slow growth and compression of adjacent structures. Multiple surgical approaches have been developed for their treatment, including microsurgical transfacial-transorbital approaches (MTTAs), cranio-orbital approaches (MCOAs), orbitotomies (MOs), endoscopic endonasal approaches (EEAs), and endoscopic transorbital approaches (ETOAs). However, the optimal approach remains a topic of debate.

Research objective

This systematic review aims to compare the resection rates, postoperative complications, and clinical outcomes across various surgical approaches for OCM management.
