AFour Year RetrospectiveReviewof SpaceOccupying Lesions of theOrbit, continued
5 patients (3.8%) hadmeningioma
9 patients (6.8%) had no abnormal findings on pathology exam
Therewere 16 reinterventions on 13 patients representing 10.2% of the procedures and 9.8% of the patients, respectively.
A larger number of the procedures involved the right orbit.
Conclusions:
Orbital space-occupying lesions represent an important part in our practice.They carry a significant morbidity and
mortality. Our center has a referral population that covers a large geographic area. Despite the use of MRI andCT scanning, the
histological examination remains necessary for final diagnosis.
