Design: A retrospective cohort study.
Participants: All patients referred for PE excluding PE with Frisén grade ≥ 3, optic neuritis, ischemic optic neuropathy, and compressive optic neuropathy.
Introduction And Importance: Primary inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is a rare subgroup of mesenchymal tumors.

Among the characteristics of the alveograph (dough tenacity "P" and dough extensibility "L"), the addition of a cocktail of enzymes at a concentration of 2 %, to weak wheat flour, has made it possible to significantly reduce its P/L ratio from 2.45 to 1.
