Abstract Body:
Purpose: To describe a standardized orbital resection
technique and outcomes for orbital involving sphenoid wing meningiomas.
Study Design: Retrospective study
Methods: A retrospective chart review of 21 patients with sphenoid
wing meningiomas with orbital invasion treated surgically between 2008 and
2017, via a modified orbitozygomatic approach using the Alberta Standardized
Orbital Technique (ASOT), was performed.
Results: Fifty percent of cases had prior attempted resection prior
to referral to our service. Complete resection of the meningioma was achieved
in 42.8%, with no recurrences. In cases where the tumor was non-resectable,
orbital debulking was performed (57.2% of cases). Among all the debulked
patients, 75% had stable disease (with 25% requiring adjuvant external beam
radiotherapy). Progressive disease was observed in 25% of the debulked cases.
In general, stable orbital disease was obtained in 85.7% of all cases.
Standardized follow-up examinations were accomplished in 15 patients. Of these,
complications reported were extra-ocular movements restriction (3 cases/20%),
visual acuity reduction (2 cases/13.3%), diplopia (2 cases/13.3%), edema (2
case/13.3%), wound infection (1 case/6,6%) and superior sulcus defect (1
case/6.6%)
Conclusions: The ASOT demonstrated to be secure with minimal
morbidity. All patients with the pre-operative goal of complete excision had
successful complete excision with no recurrence. 75% of patients with
symptomatic unresectable tumors presented stable disease after debulking.
Overall 85.7% demonstrated stability post-treatment. Complete resection of the
tumor in the first surgery
