Osteotomy-Free Management of Dumbbell-Shaped Orbital Dermoid Cysts
Most dumbbell-shaped orbital dermoid cysts can be excised through an upper-lid skin-crease incision without lateral osteotomy. Meticulous dissection, curettage, or fulguration of the intraosseous tract, and careful management of spilled cyst contents reduce complications. This minimally invasive strategy offers excellent outcomes with low morbidity and fast recovery.
