Abstract

Abstract: As a benign isolated and encapsulated tumor originating from the nerve sheaths, schwannomas rarely appear on the cranial nerves, among which infraorbital nerve schwannomas are highly uncommon. We report a case of isolated infraorbital nerve schwannoma in a 58‐year‐old male patient with a clinical manifestation of proptosis in the affected eye. Abstract : As a benign tumor, schwannomas very rarely were reported to originate from the infraorbital nerve. Considering the reports of this tumor, diagnostic considerations when visiting patients with cystic masses in the infraorbital region are recommended.
