We present a rare case of a peripheral orbital nerve schwannoma. This patient was a 37-year-old man with a lesion that appeared 10 years ago and has gradually enlarged. Examination showed a space-occupying lesion in the right orbit that was firm to palpation, adherent to deep planes, painless and displaced the right eye inferiorly. Computed tomography showed a homogeneous orbital mass that was isodense to the brain parenchyma, encapsulated and did not invade adjacent structures. Complete tumour resection is performed, and pathologic examination showed a schwannoma. Overall orbital Schwannomas are infrequent tumours arising from the orbit coming behind Inflammatory, vascular and lymphoproliferative diseases, treatment is complete resection of the lesion with subsequent monitoring to prevent recurrence.Orbital Schwannoma arising from the trochlear nerve in the anterior orbit with ocular movement recovery after surgery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
