Resumen

Los autores describen una modificación de la técnica quirúrgica para la reconstrucción del techo de la órbita después de una orbitectomía superior a través de un abordaje transfrontal mediante trefina. Después de la resección con técnica microquirúrgica se reconstruye el techo de la órbita con «malla de titanio» para evitar posibles complicaciones neuroftalmológicas. Con este tipo de reconstrucción se consiguen buenos resultados cosméticos y un correcto seguimiento postquirúrgico tanto con la TC como con la RM por ausencia de artefactos metálicos descritos con otros materiales.

Palabras clave:
«tumor intraorbitario»
«malla de titanio»
«reconstrucción de órbita»
Abstract

The authors describe a modification of the surgical technique for reconstruction of the orbital roof after superior orbitectomy through a simple transcranial frontal approach with trephination. After resection of the tumor with microsurgical instrumentation, a reconstruction of the orbital roof is carried out using a titanium mesh to bridge the defect and avoid postoperatory neurophtalmologic complications. This type of reconstruction gives good aesthetic results and allows a correct follow-up with CT scan and MR avoiding the misleading artifacts of other prosthesics.

Key words:
«orbital tumor»
«titanium mesh»
«orbital reconstruction»
