AI Article Synopsis
- - A rare case of orbital schwannoma was reported in a young woman, specifically located within the inferior rectus muscle.
- - The patient experienced gradual eye protrusion (proptosis) over a year, with imaging indicating a benign tumor in the affected area, later confirmed by histopathology.
- - This case emphasizes the need to consider schwannoma when diagnosing orbital tumors related to eye muscles.
Article Abstract
Purpose: To report a rare orbital schwannoma arising within inferior rectus muscle in a young woman.
Observations: In this case report, we describe a young patient with slowly progressive proptosis for one year. Preoperative imaging was suggestive of a benign tumor arising within inferior rectus muscle, and histopathologic evaluation revealed an orbital schwannoma with cystic degeneration.
Conclusion And Importance: This case report highlights the importance of including schwannoma in the differential diagnosis of any orbital tumor arising within muscle.

Purpose: To describe a technique using retroauricular scalp graft for eyebrow reconstruction, along with problems encountered and countermeasures in treatment.
Methods: We present a patient with eyebrow loss following resection of a malignant schwannoma. We initially covered the defect from the upper eyelid to the eyebrow area with artificial dermis for hemostasis and to increase the granulation of the graft bed.

A young adult female in her 20s presented with gradually progressive exodeviation of the left eyeball from the last 3 years. She had mild ptosis and proptosis in her left eye with 3 mm of anisocoria. On examination, she was found to have 60 prism dioptres exotropia with minimal motility limitation (-1 adduction, elevation and depression) in the left eye.

Background: Orbital schwannomas arising from the frontal nerve are a rare but distinct entity.
Case Description: A 16-year-old girl presented to our hospital with gradually progressive proptosis. Computed tomography (CT) performed 2 years ago incidentally detected a retrobulbar mass in the left orbit measuring 13 mm × 14 mm × 10 mm, which was not identified on CT performed at the age of 4 years.

We describe a case of a 57-year-old woman presenting initially with diplopia who later developed retro-orbital and retroauricular pain. Examination showed right abducens nerve palsy and subsequent right trigeminal nerve hyperesthesia. Neuroimaging revealed a well-defined mass confined to the right cavernous sinus, with high T2 signal intensity and homogeneous enhancement on postgadolinium T1-weighted images.

Article Synopsis
- * A total of 13 cases were reviewed, revealing that EEA was the primary technique used for most tumors, particularly those located near the optic nerve, with additional approaches (TOA and EMMM) employed as needed for extraconal tumors.
- * The results showed an 80% gross-total resection rate and a 69.2% improvement in visual function after surgery, indicating that the combined surgical methods are both safe
