Technical noteUse of an acrylic jig to aid orbital reconstruction after resection of a sphenoid intraosseous meningioma: a technical note

Conclusion
Using our technique, the orbital walls can be reconstructed using an extraorbital approach. It affords accurate restoration of the lost orbital volume to that of the unaffected side. Other advantages of this technique are the avoidance of a standard orbital dissection and its attendant risks, and shorter time in theatre. At one month postoperatively, there was resolution of the initial proptosis but reduced visual acuity in the same eye. There was no diplopia, exophthalmos, or enophthalmos. The
