BACKGROUND: @entity2694 ( @entity2694 ) are complex @entity5 involving the middle cranial fossa and orbit. Following resection of these @entity5 , reconstruction of the orbit can be challenging. Inadequate reconstruction may lead to @entity85 . OBJECTIVE: The development of a technique for orbital reconstruction which is technically straightforward, cost-effective, with an excellent functional and cosmetic outcome. TECHNIQUE: Twelve @entity1 with @entity2694 each underwent a modified orbital-zygomatic craniotomy with osteotomies based on individual @entity5 location. After @entity5 resection, the lateral orbit and orbital roof, where necessary, were reconstructed using a 1 mm porous @entity691 sheet, customized to reconstruct the bony anatomy of the lateral and superior orbit and secured with 1.5 4 mm @entity702 screws into the orbital roof and rim. RESULTS: All @entity1 demonstrated stabilization or improvement of vision and satisfactory cosmetic outcomes. One complication ( @entity281 ) was noted. Follow-up imaging was obtained at regular intervals. The resection cavity was easily visualized without interference from the implant in each case. One @entity1 developed @entity5 recurrence requiring re-operation 20 months after the initial procedure. CONCLUSIONS: Use of a 1mm porous @entity691 sheet for reconstruction of the lateral orbit offers an excellent functional and cosmetic outcome, does not interfere with postoperative imaging, is technically straightforward, and is cost-effective.
