The transcranial approach to the orbital tumors consists of a subfrontal route after frontal or frontotemporal craniotomy to allow epidural access to the orbital roof. This approach is used for all tumors with intracranial extension as well as for tumors located in the apex of the orbit or medial to the optic nerve in the posterior part of the orbit.
