Infraorbital nerve schwannoma is an infrequent entity that is rarely reported in the paediatric population. This case report is a summed-up report of this infrequent diagnosis, its presentation, and management from an otorhinolaryngologist's perspective. It is reported here for its rarity, inherent surgical challenge, and academic interest. We report a case of a 13-year-old boy with infraorbital nerve schwannoma arising from its two terminal branches. We performed its surgical excision without any disabling deformity. The peculiarity of this case gives insight into the varied presentation of schwannoma. It is important to identify such cases with a high degree of suspicion and treat them accordingly.
眶下神经鞘瘤是一种罕见的疾病,在儿科人群中鲜有报道。本病例报告是从耳鼻喉科医生的角度对这一罕见诊断、其表现及治疗的总结报告。因其罕见性、固有的手术挑战及学术价值在此进行报道。我们报告一例13岁男孩,其眶下神经鞘瘤起源于眶下神经的两个终末分支。我们对其进行了手术切除,未造成任何致残性畸形。该病例的特殊性有助于深入了解神经鞘瘤的多样表现。高度怀疑并相应治疗此类病例很重要。
