- Abstract
Orbital apex is a region involving bone, vascular and neural structures. Pathologies involving this region may lead to several symptoms and signals and to orbital apex syndrome. It is a rare syndrome that is characterized by signals involving nervous ocular motor nerves through the optic foramen and the superior orbital fissure. This can affect the oculomotor, the third canal and abducens nerves; the ophthalmic division of the fifth cranial nerve and the optic nerve. Its causes include neoplastic, vascular, traumatic, infectious, inflammatory, and idiopathic conditions. We often deal with conditions with no treatment, so it is necessary to control the symptoms and prevent late implications. The purpose of this case series is to report on the causes of orbital apex disease and its potential chronic implications.
