Preoperative diagnosis of benign intraorbital neoplasm was made by means of CT and MR scans; the mass was radically excised through a microsurgical lateral orbitotomy and the pathological examination revealed a schwannoma. Features of orbital schwannoma are described, together with some details concerning the surgical strategy and the history of the evolution of the lateral orbitotomy.
The axial view is the reference for the diagnosis of vascular anomalies, including affecting subclavian arteries, like the aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) or an aberrant left subclavian artery (ALSA). Although axial view allows us to distinguish vascular subclavian arteries anomalies in most cases, we can use the coronal view not only in cases of ARSA but also in cases of ALSA using the same methodology. Therefore, we can say that coronal view help us as an additional aid to support the diagnosis of both vascular anomalies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations鈥揷itations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
