    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To analyze the results and skill of surgical management of orbital osteoma retrospectively. METHODS: It was a retrospective case series. Nineteen cases of orbital osteoma (the diagnosis was confirmed by surgical and pathological studies) were analyzed retrospectively in the present study. RESULTS: The location of orbital osteoma was as following: 10 cases in medial wall of the orbit, 4 cases in orbital roof and 5 cases in lateral wall of the orbit. Surgical approaches included anterior orbitotomy (8 cases), lateral orbitotomy (7 cases), and medial orbitotomy (2 cases). Complete resection was performed in 12 cases,while partial resection was done in 7 cases. CONCLUSIONS: Orbital osteoma is easy to diagnosis but difficult in surgical treatment. Appropriate surgical approach and skilled surgical technique are able to reduce the surgical complications.
