چکیده
Reported are the CT. clinicaland histological features of a case of rapid growing esthesioneuroblastoma with intracranial extension. This tumour is most frequently reported to grow slowly inside the nasal cavities and can extend to the paranasal sinuses. The case investigated here occurred initially as an intracranial. retroorbital and intrapalpebral tumour which appeared suddenly one day and reached a significant size in ten days.
