Abstract
The orbit and its contents are frequently the site of several diseases that may occur in different corners of the orbital cavity. Lesions inside the orbital cavity can present restricted to this area or extend inferiorly to the maxillary sinus, medially to the ethmoid sinus, laterally to the zygomatic and infratemporal fossa, or posteriorly and laterally to the cavernous sinus. In this chapter, we describe a very useful way to reach the lateral compartment of the orbit, with or without extension to the cavernous sinus, highlighting the anatomical details and surgical nuances.
