Endoscopic excision of a supraorbital schwannoma

Patients with neurofibromatosis 1 frequently require multiple tumor excisions over the course of many years. Minimally invasive techniques of excision offer promise in reducing morbidity and scarring in a group of patients with well-circumscribed benign tumors in aesthetically sensitive areas. The safety and efficacy of endoscopic approaches to a variety of conditions affecting the craniofacial frontal region are well established. This report describes the endoscopic excision of a benign supraorbital nerve schwannoma in a 5-year-old girl.
