Summary
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy can enlarge cranial nerves, including the trigeminal nerve. This report details the surgical treatment and examination of bilateral supraorbital neuromas in a patient with this condition.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Ophthalmology
- Pathology
Background:
- Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is associated with cranial nerve enlargement, particularly the trigeminal nerve.
- Orbital neuromas have been reported in association with CIDP, but surgical intervention has not been previously documented.
Observation:
- A case of bilateral supraorbital neuromas was observed in a patient with CIDP.
- The patient presented with symptoms related to the supraorbital neuromas.
Findings:
- Surgical excision of the bilateral supraorbital neuromas was performed.
- Histopathologic examination confirmed the nature of the neuromas.
- This represents the first reported surgical treatment for supraorbital neuromas in the context of CIDP.
Implications:
- Surgical management is a viable option for supraorbital neuromas in CIDP patients.
- This case expands the understanding of the surgical treatment of rare neurological complications.
- Further research may explore the relationship between CIDP and orbital nerve tumors.

An atomic orbital represents the three-dimensional regions in an atom where an electron has the highest probability to reside. The radial distribution function indicates the total probability of finding an electron within the thin shell at a distance r from the nucleus. The atomic orbitals have distinct shapes which are determined by l, the angular momentum quantum number. The orbitals are often drawn with a boundary surface, enclosing densest regions of the cloud.

Orbitals are the areas outside of the atomic nucleus where electrons are most likely to reside. They are characterized by different energy levels, shapes, and three-dimensional orientations. The location of electrons is described most generally by a shell or principal energy level, then by a subshell within each shell, and finally, by individual orbitals found within the subshells.
The first shell is closest to the nucleus, and it has only one subshell with a single spherical orbital called the...

The mathematical expression known as the wave function, ψ, contains information about each orbital and the wavelike properties of electrons in an isolated atom. When atoms are bound together in a molecule, the wave functions combine to produce new mathematical descriptions that have different shapes. This process of combining the wave functions for atomic orbitals is called hybridization and is mathematically accomplished by the linear combination of atomic orbitals. The new orbitals that...
