Abstract：Objective The surgical treatment and curative effect of transcranial subfrontal unroofing retrobular tumor resection are introduced and the prognosis is discussed.Methods The clinical data of 13 patients with retrobular tumors treated in our department were collected retrospectively .All the patients underwent surgery through subfrontal unroofing approach to discuss the surgical challenges, which involved tumor removal, visual function preservation and cosmetic reconstruction.Results Total resection of the tumors was achieved in 9 cases (8 angioma and 1 optic nerve neurinoma),subtotal resection in 2 optic nerve neurinoma cases, and the partial resection in 1 pserdotumor and 1 hamartoma.Seven patients were followed-up for 6 months (6 patients was lost during follow-up). Of 7 patients, the visual acuity was improved in 6 patients and remained unchanged in 1 patient.Conclusion Retrobular tumor can be treated safely by transcranial approaches which provides a better exposure of the orbital cavi-ty and tumors.
