    Localized orbital neurofibromas typically originate from orbital sensory nerves, causing gradual proptosis and orbital wall expansion. Surgical excision is the recommended treatment for these benign tumors.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Orbital neurofibromas are rare tumors originating from nerve sheath cells.
    • Localized orbital neurofibromas can present without systemic neurofibromatosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the clinical presentation, characteristics, and management of localized orbital neurofibromas.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of nine patients with localized orbital neurofibromas.
    • Analysis of clinical data, imaging, and surgical outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Nine patients (5 male, 4 female; ages 25-55) presented with localized orbital neurofibromas.
    • Most tumors originated from sensory nerves, causing gradual proptosis and orbital wall expansion.

  • Five patients had multiple tumors; four had extension into the superior orbital fissure. Only one patient had systemic neurofibromatosis.

    • Conclusions:

    • Localized orbital neurofibromas are distinct from systemic neurofibromatosis.
    • Surgical excision is the primary treatment modality.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial, as some may mimic fibrotic pseudotumors.
