Endonasal Endoscopic–Assisted Intraorbital Approach

A standard sphenoethmoidectomy (Fig. 14.5) and a medial maxillectomy are performed to expose the medial orbital wall (mainly given by the lamina papyracea). The choice to spare or not the nasolacrimal duct depends on the position of the lesion and the use of an anterior septal window. Usually, ethmoidal foramina can be seen at the level of the frontoethmoidal suture. The anterior ethmoidal artery (AEA) passes through the ethmoidal complex at the level of the roof or even 5 mm below this level to enter the anterior cranial fossa. The artery runs in a membrane mesentery (rare) or a thin bony lamella. The AEA presents nasal branches and an anterior meningeal branch. The posterior ethmoidal artery (PEA) usually runs within the skull base/ethmoidal roof.

Usually two in numbers, sometimes ethmoidal arteries can be three or even more (in up to 45%, ethmoidal arteries may be multiple). In a variable percentage of cases, PEA is absent, even bilaterally (for more details, please check Chapter 7).
Once the lamina papyracea is removed, the medial and inferomedial aspects of the periorbita remain exposed (Fig. 14.6). Usually, the shape of the medial rectus mus­cle (MRM) shape is evident in the posterior aspect of the orbit where there is less extraconal fat.
After removal of the periorbita, the extraconal fat is exposed (Fig. 14.7). Posteriorly, the extraconal fat is less evident, so, sometimes, MRM can be found immediate­ly below the periorbit. At the level of the orbital apex,

the annulus of Zinn is rapidly exposed below the peri­orbit and not infrequently an extraconal venous chan­nel is evident connecting the orbital system with the cavernous sinus.
The removal of the extraconal fat exposes the “medial muscular wall” (Fig. 14.8). It is given mainly by the medial and inferior rectus muscles and, to a lesser extent, by the superior oblique muscle. Between the medial and inferior rectus muscle, it is possible to identify intraconal fat and the access to intraconal space. The AEA passes between the MRM and the superior oblique muscle, while the PEA usually passes above the superior oblique muscle.
Based on the anatomic relationship between the sinon­asal complex and the orbit, endoscopic transnasal proce­dures are thought to offer a good approach to the medial

and inferomedial orbital spaces (Fig. 14.9). To manage the medial (mostly inferomedial) intraconal spaces, the best corridor is located between the medial and inferior rectus muscles. Sometimes, to increase the size of this window, the medial aspect of the orbital floor can be removed, paying attention to the infraorbital nerve. This allows an increase mobility of the structures (Fig. 14.9).
In the superior aspect, above the MRM, within the intraconal space the most distal part of the ophthalmic artery (OA) can be seen, with its terminal branches (usu­ally the AEA and dorsal nasal arteries) (Fig. 14.10). In close proximity to the OA, the nasociliary nerve (NCN) runs branching off the anterior ethmoidal nerve and the infra­trochlear nerve. The origin of the anterior and posterior ethmoidal nerves from the NCN can be identified trans­nasally. At the level of the trochlea, the NCN becomes the infratrochlear nerve. Close to the NCN and the OA, in the anterior part of the orbit, the superior ophthalmic vein (SOV) runs usually lateral to them and on the medial side of the superior rectus muscle.
Usually, a connecting vein is seen in the anterior part of the operative window. Within the orbit, a complex reticular system of fibrous septa divides the fat into distinct lobules. These septa are well evident in the anterior orbit and bridges together with the extraocular muscles, thus “creating” an intraconal and extraconal space. Posteriorly, this division is less evident. The lat­eral limit of dissection is given by the ON (Fig. 14.11). In the upper part, above an axial plane passing through the ON, the OA, the NCN, and the SOV can be seen. SOV is usually close to the OA (Fig. 14.11). SOV is the largest and most important vein of the orbit. In the retrobulbar fat, the SOV is embedded in and supported by a highly or­ganized connective tissue. It usually originates from the fusion between the continuation of the supraorbital vein and the angular vein. On the medial aspect of the MRM, it is possible to identify the branch of the oculomotor nerve and the muscular arterial branches usually coming from the OA. As a general rule, the muscular branches are nearly all situated in the intraconal side of the muscles, principally at their posterior part.

Once the medial intraconal fat is removed, the intraorbital portion of the ON, with its tortuous course, becomes evident (Fig. 14.12). Anteriorly, the ON is closely associated with a vascular network, mainly given by the ciliary arteries (branches of the OA). Close to these vessels, long ciliary nerves are usually well identifiable (they are branches of the NCNs that arose in the posterior part of the nerve). In the posterior aspect of the or­bit, posterior ciliary arteries (PCAs) can be seen. They arose independently from the proximal part of the OA: the superior PCA is always located superior to the ON.

The PCAs run forward and divide into numerous small, short ciliary arteries that are usually highly convoluted especially near the globe. The medial PCA and the cen­tral retinal artery (CRA) are usually the first branches of the OA. From an endoscopic transnasal perspective, it is usually possible to identify the CRA, which usually en­ters the ON from its inferior surface. Sometimes, it can also reach the nerve from its medial aspect. It should be noted that CRA is one of the smallest branches of the OA and its position is unpredictable preoperatively (Fig. 14.12).

14.3 Case Examples
After an episode of an acute rhinosinusitis, a young man complained about the presence of ocular pain in the right eye associated with mild ocular movement impair­ment. MRI evaluation showed the presence of an extra/ intraconal abscess located in close relationship to the MRM (Fig. 14.14). Given the medial location, the patient was submitted to a transethmoidal approach to orbital spaces. No pus was observed in the subperiosteal region, so the periorbital was opened and a careful dissection within the fat was performed. The abscess was finally identified and drained (Fig. 14.14). Culture was positive for penicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis. The postoperative period was uneventful and the patient’s complains disappeared.
A young woman presented a moderate-sized lesion located in the right inferomedial extraconal compart­ment. Given the favorable position, the lesion was addressed via transnasal route. After a standard sphen­oethmoidectomy, lamina papyracea was removed and periorbital incised. The lesion was easily identified and removed (Fig. 14.15). The postoperative period was uneventful. (Case is provided courtesy of Prof. Paolo Castelnuovo.)
14.4 Complications
14.4.1 Vascular Damages
Muscular branches, mainly of the MRM: this vessel
can be injured especially in the posterior aspect of the
orbit. This complication is infrequent especially if a
careful perilesional dissection is performed.

Yellow arrows indicate the branches of the inferior division of the oculomotor nerve.
CRA: the damage of this artery leads to sudden blindness.
Unfortunately, the position of the CRA is unpredictable. Most of the time, the artery enters the nerve on its inferi­or surface, but sometimes it can have a medial entrance.
Ciliary arteries: this network surrounds the ON and can
be seen from a transnasal view. Their damage can be very serious and lead to severe visual impairment.
OA: given the position of the artery, a direct damage
of the vessel is very rare during transnasal intraorbital procedures.

14.4.2 Neural Damages
Motor nerves (branches of the inferior division of ocu-
lomotor nerve): this lesion can lead to a dysfunction of the muscles (medial and inferior rectus muscles). These branches usually enter the muscles on their inner sur­face, in the posterior orbit. Thus, their damage during transnasal intraorbital procedures is not common. Notwithstanding, a careful and smooth dissection is strongly advisable because it greatly reduces the risk of damage to these branches.
Long ciliary nerves: these nerves are mainly sensory
but can also contain sympathetic fibers for muscles (medial and inferior rectus muscles). These branches usually enter the muscles on their inner surface, in the posterior orbit. Thus, their damage during transnasal intraorbital procedures is not common. Notwithstand­ing, a careful and smooth dissection is strongly advis­able because it greatly reduces the risk of damage to these branches.
ON: a direct damage to the ON branches is infrequent if
a careful dissection is performed.
Long ciliary nerves: these nerves are mainly pupillary
dilatation. They can be found on the medial aspect of the ON and their damage can lead to some disturbances in sclera’s sensation.
14.4.3 Muscular Damage
Mainly to MRM: direct trauma or even surgical maneu-
vers by themselves can lead to a post-op impairment with consequent diplopia. Usually, the dysfunction disappears within months.
To avoid an increase of intraorbital pressure, a careful
Transient diplopia (especially if related to MRM impair-
tasis should be achieved at the end of the proce-

ment) should not be considered as a complication itself but rather a possible temporary consequence.
14.5 Tips and Tricks
Creation of an anterior septal window allows a two-nos­tril technique with a 3- to 4-hand technique and a more favorable “angle of attack” (Fig. 14.16). This reduces the potential conflict between instruments.
To increase the working window between the medial and inferior rectus muscles, the MRM can be medialized and “attached” temporarily to the nasal septum (Fig. 14.17). Usually, this is done using a vessel loop or a stitch. This maneuver improves the ability to dissect and work within medial intraconal space, reducing at the same time the conflicts between instruments. At the end of the surgery, the MRM is repositioned.
Anterior stiffening of the medial and inferior rectus muscles by means of a transconjunctival looping rep­resents another great help for transnasal orbital dissec­tion, especially for extraconal lesions (Fig. 14.18). By pulling anteriorly the stitches, the muscles become rigid, thus making dissection easier and safer.
The dissection should be performed with smooth (and more rarely sharp) instruments. A careful and wise use of bipolar coagulation on the surface of the lesion is very use­ful to shrink the lesion and thus to facilitate its removal.

14.6 Dedicated Instrumentations
The transnasal approaches to the orbital spaces require adequate instrumentation for a correct procedure. The surgical set should include several dissectors of different sizes, plus delicate scissors of different angles (like those for cranial base surgery). Delicate bipolar forceps with straight and angled tips can be very useful. Navigation is advisable.
