Core Tip
Core Tip: We analyzed clinical, pathological, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data retrospectively in 34 patients with periorbital sheath tumors diagnosed using histopathology during more than 7 years. The differences in location, morphology, MRI signal intensity/CT value, and enhancement degree of tumors of different pathological types were compared. Radiologically, schwannomas and neurofibromas are characterized by regular morphology and uneven density and signal. One case of plexiform neurofibroma showed tortuous and diffuse growth along the nerve, with a worm-like appearance on imaging.
