Madida Ramakishna male aged 40 yrs resident of Turpupalem (v), Malkipuram Mandal, Amalapuram developed severe protrusion and diminished vision of left eye.
He consulted several doctors and no surgery was attempted. He attended to GSL General Hospital attached to GSL Medical College, Rajahmundry where intra orbital tumor was diagnosed and was operated by neurosurgeon Dr.Phanikumar.
Post operatively the tumor biopsy suggestive of tumor arising from lacrimal gland. The critical stage of surgery is that the tumor was operated through cranial approach by pushing brain towards midline and cutting bony roof plate of orbit. The tumor was found to be occupying 3/4th of orbital cavity, eroding orbital roof and penetrating into cranial cavity.
Had it been not operated, the possible transformation of growth into malignancy might erode extensively the orbital cavity, displacing or penetrating brain substance, resulting in possible paralysis, complete loss of vision in left eye and eventual death from brain damage.
The surgery took around 6 hours on 13 th april and after surgery there is cosmetic improvement and improvement in vision. He is to be discharged in 3or 4days
A major health catastrophe is averted due to timely planned surgery, reiterated Dr.Ganni Bhaskara Rao, Chairman, GSL Medical College.
