History: A 38-year-old man who was referred with a chronic proptosis of the right eye with minimal visual disturbance. The proptosis measurements were 22 right and 18 left with a base of 106. There was no pain associated with the proptosis. Anatomy: Orbit; Calvarium. Clinical: A cafe au lait spot on the patient's skin indicated a patient with neurofibromatosis. The gross specimen of the solitary neurofibroma removed from the superior portion of the right orbit through the craniotomy. Disease Diagnosis: Neurofibroma. Neuroimaging: An axial CT scan of the irregular lesion in the superior right orbit with a variable internal consistency. The lower axial view of the lesion in the region of the right Optic Nerve. An unenhanced axial view of an MRI scan showing the lesion in the superior portion of the right orbit. An unenhanced coronal MRI showing the lesion in the superior right orbit as a rounded lesion in the region of the superior rectus muscle. Presenting Symptom: Chronic proptosis of the right eye with minimal visual disturbance. Treatment: Surgical removal of lesion. |
