Endoscopic Endonasal Optic Nerve Decompression for Fibrous Dysplasia

“Well Digging” Subcraniotomy Strategy with Navigation for Optic Nerve Decompression in Frontoorbital Fibrous Dysplasia: Preliminary Experience

BACKGROUND During the past decades, surgical intervention has been the primary treatment modality for frontoorbital fibrous dysplasia involving optic nerve. However, controversy has surrounded the role of optic nerve decompression in a number of ways. Herein, we describe 3 patients with frontoorbital fibrous dysplasia involving optic nerve, who underwent a "well digging" subcraniotomy strategy ...

“Apartment” Decompression for Saving Optic Nerve in Fronto-Orbital Fibrous Dysplasia: Strategy and Advantage

Background: During the past decades, surgical intervention is the primary treatment modality for fronto-orbital fibrous dysplasia involving optic nerve. However, controversy has surrounded the role of intra-canal decompression in a number of ways. Objective: Our philosophy of saving optic nerve is that treatment paradigms should be tailored to the individual. Herein, we describe three patients ...

Endoscopic orbital and optic nerve decompression.

The endoscopic transnasal approach is well suited for decompression of both the orbit and optic canal. High-resolution nasal endoscopes provide excellent visualization for bone removal along the orbital apex and skull base. Endoscopic orbital decompression has proved to be safe and effective for the treatment of patients with Graves' orbitopathy; however, the indications and outcomes for endosc...

Fibrous Dysplasia of Skull Base: Is There a Role of Endonasal Endoscopic Approach? Fibrous Dysplasia of Skull Base: Is There a Role of Endonasal Endoscopic Approach? 1Rijuneeta, 2Ashok

Fibrous dysplasia is abnormal proliferation of fibrous tissue interspersed with normal or immature bone. The records of 11 cases of fibrous dysplasia of paranasal sinuses with skull base involvement were reviewed. Six patients were polyostotic and 5 were classified as monostotic fibrous dysplasia. Four cases were managed endoscopically and only 1 patient had undergone right lateral craniotomy f...
