Isolated orbital neurofibroma: case report and literature review

The authors report a case of a patient who presented with a slowly progressive expanding isolated orbital neurofibroma for 5 years, associated with incomitant endotropia of the left eye, without complaint of diplopia. Sensorial examination showed a normal visual acuity in both eyes and suppression of one eye. Orbital imaging (computed tomography and magnetic ressonance) depicted an elongated intraconal lesion adjacent to the left lateral muscle. The patient was submitted to an orbitotomy for the removal of the lesion. After surgery, the eye deviation decreased without changes in the suppression pattern.
