Intraorbital schwannoma is a rare tumor which accounts for about 1-2% of all neoplasms of the orbit. Orbital schwannomas most commonly arise from the sensory branches of the trigeminal nerve. On the other hand, intraorbital abducens nerve schwannomas are extremely rare, with a search of the English literature identifying only four cases of intraorbital abducens nerve schwannoma. This is the 5th...

A 63-year-old woman presented with an extremely rare oculomotor schwannoma not associated with neurofibromatosis, manifesting as a transient diplopia and ptosis. Magnetic resonance images showed a well-enhanced mass extending from the cavernous sinus to the intraorbital region. Surgical exposure confirmed the tumor originating from the oculomotor nerve in the cavernous sinus. The intraorbital c...

Optic nerve pilocytic astrocytoma is an uncommon but well-known entity; however, intraorbital ancient pilocytic astrocytoma of the optic nerve is extremely rarely reported. To our knowledge, this is the first detailed description regarding the intraorbital ancient pilocytic astrocytoma, reported in available English literature, to date. We presented an extremely unusual neurofibromatosis type 1...

one of the complications during a routine dental implant placement is accidental ingestion of the implant instruments, which can happen when proper precautions are not taken. appropriate radiographs should be taken to locate the correct position of foreign body; usually the foreign body passes asymptomatically from gastrointestinal tract but sometimes it may lead to intestinal obstruction, perf...

Background: Management of the child who has swallowed a foreign body should be guided by risk complication. Objective Review: This review discusses patient and characteristics most likely to associated with complications. Discussion: Most bodies will pass through GI tract without Children pre-existing abnormalities any sort, or those swallow higher-risk bodies, are at higher risk. Higher-risk i...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the utility of measuring lung radiodensity from chest X-ray for the diagnosis of foreign body aspiration. METHODS Records of 59 children with foreign body aspiration were retrospectively reviewed. Lung radiodensity and radiodensity ratio (right/left lung radio density) before and after foreign body removal were measured. Radiodensity was calculated as the relative score ...

Foreign body aspiration is a potentially life-threatening event especially in those who are younger than 5 years old. Aspiration could be presented as a spectrum, ranging from absolutely asymptomatic event to more sever events including choking, respiratory distress and cyanosis or even death. Although foreign bodies in lung may not be visualized on X-ray, X-ray radiography is considered as a f...

The term pseudotumour of the orbit is unfortunate, since it merely purports to describe a negative quality of a considerable number of diverse pathological conditions. Among ophthalmologists it is common practice to limit the term to those lesions which are of an idiopathic inflammatory nature (Blodi and Gass, 1967), whereas Birch-Hirschfeld, who introduced the term, included all non-neoplastic...

AIM: To provide comprehensive data on nonmetallic intraorbital foreign bodies (IOFBs) by summarizing and analyzing material types, clinical manifestations, imaging features, treatment strategies. METHODS: Totally 28 IOFB cases treated at Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from 2012 to 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. The types bodies, outcomes analyzed. RESULTS: Among all cases, ...
