Orbital Schwannoma

Abstract: Orbital schwannomas are rare neoplasms of the orbit. The presenting symptoms are often nonspecific. Classic imaging characteristics seen on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and orbital ultrasound can be useful to help aid in the diagnosis of orbital schwannoma. When diagnosed, the goal of treatment is complete surgical excision. The location of the tumor within the orbit dictates which surgical approach would provide the best exposure. When complete excision is achieved, recurrence rates are very low.This arti… Show more

“…Accordingly, a substantial portion of the OCH tumors were found incidentally, whereas almost all the OSC patients were suffering from symptoms of tumor rapid growth. Furthermore, OCH is often found in middle age at 40–50 years, whereas OSC can present at any age ( 3 , 25 27 ). OSC may manifest heterogeneous on MRI just as a “geographic map.” Except for the above-mentioned two shape features, the other selected features, such as gldm_DependenceEntropy and glcm_MCC, all implied that OSC presented with heterogenous signal intensity.…”

“…Patients with OCH typically show slow-moving progression and painless proptosis, although some suffer from disturbance in vision and visual fields ( 2 ). Though having a similar clinical manifestation to OCH ( 3 ), orbital schwannoma (OSC) accounts for <1% of orbital lesions. However, the prognosis and therapeutic strategies for the two tumors are always different.…”

“…Generally, schwannomas are benign, slow growing nerve sheath tumors, originating from the Schwann cells of the perineurium of peripheral nerves [ 75 ]. Of all schwannomas, 25 to 45% occur in the head and neck; orbital schwannomas account for only 1% of all orbital tumors [ 76 ]. However, while they can present at any age, patients are typically between their third and sixth decades of life [ 77 ].…”

“…Contrast enhancement can either be distributed homogenously or heterogeneously [ 75 , 76 , 80 ]. Sometimes differentiation between schwannoma and cavernous hemangioma can be challenging.…”
