    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To explore the transcranial surgical method with lateral orbital approach for the treatment of cranio-orbital fibrous dysplasia. METHODS: Lateral orbital transcranial extradural approach was adopted to correct complicated fibrous dysplasia in which the frontal, orbital, sphenoid, temporal bones were involved. Partial lesion removal and optic nerve decompression were performed through the transcranial extradural route by fronto-temporal cranial bone flap exposure. The fronto-orbital skeleton was shaped after bone flap deactivation. RESULTS: 8 cases were treated successfully with no complication. The period of follow-up ranged from 9 months to 3 years. The appearance and the vision improved greatly. Cranial CT showed good bony union with no relapse. CONCLUSIONS: Lateral orbital transcranial surgical approach is an optimal technique to correct cranio-orbital fibrous dysplasia.
