Solitary orbital malignant neurilemmoma.
A SERIES of 500 cases of proptosis included two due to orbital malignant neurilemmoma, which according to Duke-Elder (1952) and Hogan and Zimmerman (1962) is a very rare condition. Case Reports Case 1, a 50-year-old woman (Fig. 1), had a left forward painless proptosis of 7-months' duration. Examination.-The right eye was normal and the visual acuity 6/9.

متن کاملGraves' exophthalmos: Volumetric assessment of orbital expansion.
INTRODUCTION Graves' ophthalmopathy is characterized by an increase in the volume of orbital soft tissue contents and an associated increase in intraorbital pressure. Surgical expansion of bony orbital volume is therefore an effective method of treating moderate to severe exophthalmos. Numerous correlations between specific decompression procedures and reduction of proptosis have been made. The...
متن کاملOrbital neurilemmoma. Presenting as retrobulbar neuritis.
Neurilemmoma of the orbit is a localized, encapsulated, benign nerve sheath tumour which grows very slowly and possibly intermittently, and has no distinctive clinical features (Reese, I963). When large enough it causes exophthalmos and sometimes blurring of vision through pressure on the optic nerve (Reese, I963; Sharma and Kulshrestha, I961). The motility of the eyeball may also be impaired. ...
متن کاملEndocrine Exophthalmos Treated by Orbital Decompression
ORBITAL DECOMPRESSION P. R. R. CLARKE (Middlesbrough) discussed a series of 20 patients with endocrine exophthalmos treated by lateral orbital decompression. There had been 14 bilateral decompressions, and in six patients a unilateral operation only had been performed. One patient had needed reoperation. Four patients had no thyroid abnormality, and two had untreated hyperthyroidism. In 14 pati...

Examination.-The left eye was normal with visual acuity 6/12. The right eye showed proptosis 20 mm. (left 15 mm.), and deviated outwards with limitation of ocular movements inwards.

Surgery.-Through a medial fomix conjunctival incision the tumour was...
