We recently had a patient of this rare tumor. We believe that this is the first report where we resected the tumor transcranially. Case Description: A 54-year-old male presented with the left proptosis and intraconal tumor of 43 mm. We performed fronto-orbital craniotomy to resect the tumor mass. His proptosis completely improved and discharged home with a modified Rankin Scale of 1. Conclusion: Transcranial resection of orbital HNST was a safe and effective way to treat. Since we do not have much data regarding this rare tumor, we need to accumulate more cases.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/f37f0880-8f74-4094-ad3b-3ded541417dc/featured/hero-1781563662245.png","publishDate":"2019-12-20T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.25259/SNI_542_2019","categories":["Neuropathology","Case Report"],"fullTextUrl":"https://surgicalneurologyint.com/api/articles/f37f0880-8f74-4094-ad3b-3ded541417dc/pdf"}
