Abstract
The orbit can be managed with an external or with an endoscopic nasal approach. The more appropriated approach should be tailored to the patient pathology. With a superior approach, it is possible to enlarge the orbit and remove orbital fat tissue, retrobulbar tumors located superiorly and laterally to the optic nerve. It is also possible to remove spheno-orbital meningiomas. With a lower approach, the orbital floor, part of the zygomatic bone, orbital adipose tissue, and neoplasms located under the optic nerve can be removed. The medial length of the orbit can be treated equally but sometimes an endonasal endoscopy approach may be preferable.
