Multiport combined endoscopic endonasal and transorbital approach to orbital schwannoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We present a case report describing the use of combined endoscopic endonasal and transorbital approach (EETOA) for intraorbital schwannoma that grew rapidly during pregnancy.

Case description

A 27-year-old woman who presented with headache was incidentally diagnosed with a tumor mass 1 cm in diameter near the right superior orbital fissure. Treatment of the tumor was deferred to follow-up. One month later, the patient became pregnant, and in the last trimester, she developed right abducens palsy and mildly dilated pupil. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed that the tumor mass had grown rapidly with a maximal diameter of 5 cm and had extended into the orbit through the superior orbital fissure. After spontaneous vaginal delivery, EETOA was planned to remove bot
