The patients were collected at three medical centers (the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, Xijing Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University, and Shenzhen Longgang District Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital) from 2016 to 2023.

Among them, 4 patients had benign tumors, while the remaining 42 had malignant tumors. The median follow-up duration was 60.7 months (range: from 19.0 to 75.0 months). Postoperatively, symmetrical globe position was achieved in 38 cases without significant diplopia; 4 cases exhibited enophthalmos without diplopia, and 4 cases had enophthalmos with diplopia. Twelve patients received preoperative radiotherapy, and 30 patients received postoperative radiotherapy. Six patients developed enophthalmos, and 6 experienced titanium mesh exposure after radiotherapy.

Key structures and their anatomical relationships were observed and recorded. Additionally, high-resolution CT scans of 50 adults were retrospectively analyzed. Three-dimensional reconstructions and measurements were performed using Mimics 17.0 software. Spatial validation was performed using 17 dry skulls to verify the consistency and reliability of osseous anatomical landmarks. <b>Results:</b> Cadaveric dissection identified the meningo-orbital band, superior orbital fissure, optic canal, foramen rotundum, and foramen ovale as reliable surgical landmarks for the ETOA. A topographic map of the surgical region was established based on the endoscopic view. CT measurements revealed the following distances (Mean±SD): the midpoint of the supraorbital rim to the foramen rotundum (57.31±3.59) mm and foramen ovale (71.46±3.42) mm; the lateral orbital rim to the lateral edge of the superior orbital fissure (37.38±2.52) mm; the distance from the superior orbital fissure to the optic canal (9.98±1.49) mm; and the distance from the anterior ethmoidal artery to the optic canal (19.98±2.05) mm. These measurements were consistent with dry skull data, indicating that these osseous landmarks had stable spatial relationships and were suitable for intraoperative localization. <b>Conclusions:</b> The ETOA provides favorable anatomical accessibility and clinical feasibility for lesions involving the orbital apex and lateral skull base. Key osseous structures demonstrate high identifiability and stable spatial relationships, serving as critical references for intraoperative navigation and preoperative pathway planning.
