INTRAORBITAL ABDUCENS NERVE SCHWANNOMA- A CASE REPORT
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 74
Abstract
We are reporting a case of left intraorbital abducens nerve schwannoma in a 42-year-old male patient who presented with discomfort and proptosis of the left eye of 5 months duration. He underwent imaging in the Radiology Department of MVJ Medical College and Research Hospital, Hoskote, Bangalore, and was found to have a mass lesion in the intraconal compartment of the left orbit, which involved the abducens nerve. The tumour was excised by lateral orbitotomy and histopathological examination of the operated specimen was suggestive of schwannoma. Intraorbital schwannoma is a rare tumour and accounts for about 1-2% of all neoplasms of the orbit. Orbital schwannomas most common origin is from the sensory branches of the trigeminal nerve. But, intraorbital abducens nerve schwannomas are extremely rare.
