Orbital tumors constitute a heterogeneous group as they may develop in any of the tissues within the orbital cavity and may also invade the orbit from the sinuses, brain, or nasal cavity, or it may metastasize from other areas of the body. Orbital tumors are of interest to neurosurgeons because many intracranial conditions affecting the orbit produce proptosis, visual defects and ophthalmoplegia. Due to the confined space within the orbital cavity and the inaccessible location of some of these tumors to approach them through the orbit alone, it is necessary to use an intracranial route, especially for tumors in the posterior third of the orbit. Therefore, it is necessary for the neurosurgeons to be familiar in this subject as orbital tumors are relatively common in neurosurgical practice, especially in Asian Countries.
