Computerized Tomography-Guided Core-Needle Biopsy of Orbital Space-Occupying Lesions: A Case Series.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To describe our experience in performing biopsy of post-septal orbital masses with core needle under computerized tomography guidance (CT-CNB).

Methods

The medical records of all patients who underwent this procedure were reviewed. The procedure was performed under local anesthesia on a day case basis under a peribulbar block. A planning non-contrast computerized tomography (CT) scan of the orbits was performed to localise the mass. A 6-cm 18-G Temno Evolution® semi-automated biopsy needle was inserted through the skin into the orbit. Prior to further advancement of the needle, a low-dose CT limited to the previously determined plane was performed to confirm its position. The needle was then advanced, and the cutting needle was deployed to obtain the biopsy.
