Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 10
Abstract
A highly unusual patient of neurofibromatosis with optic nerve schwannoma is reported. Orbital mass with visual loss were presenting features. Complete excision of mass with debulking was done. Diagnosis of optic nerve schwannoma was confirmed by histopathological examination. Optic nerve glioma and meningioma are common in neurofibromatosis while optic nerve schwannoma rarely occurs in this disease. This patient enlarges the spectrum of clinical presentations that can be encountered at young age in patients with neurofibromatosis.
