Abstract:
We presented several cases of the exophthalmos due to the orbital tumors, with the review of the literatures. We performed modified Kronlein operation and anterior orbitotomy, appropriately for each cases to improve the visual acuity and at least to correct cosmetically the proptosed eye. It will be better to do one's best in order to search a possible way to save the eye ball by which the ophthalmologist can remove the orbital tumor even if the patient lost his vision.
