ABSTRACT: Orbital tumors are lesions that appear in the orbital craniofacial limits. To this end, teams of different ophthalmologist and neurosurgeon specialists provide the treatment of these tumors. We present here the experience of the neurosurgery department of the military hospital of Rabat in the management of these tumors. We retrospectively evaluated the records of 08 patients with orbital tumors, hospitalized in our neurosurgery department from January 2020 to December 2021. Results: In 06 patients, five different histological entities were observed, a transcranial approach was used for five patients, and only three underwent lateral orbitotomy, Postoperative results varied, depending on pathology, location and the extent of the tumors, as well as the approach. This study aims to review the place of neurosurgery in the management of orbital tumors as well as the important role that the neurosurgeon should play in the evaluation and treatment of this pathology.
