Abstract
Orbital schwannomas are rare, benign neoplasms that develop from Schwann cells in the peripheral nerve sheath of the orbit. These slow-growing tumours are characterised by insidious proptosis, visual disturbances, diplopia, and occasionally pain. Following surgical resection, imaging modalities such as MRI and histopathological analysis are frequently used to make the diagnosis. The primary treatment modality remains surgical excision, with the goal of removing the tumour completely while preserving visual function and minimising postoperative complications. The prognosis for orbital schwannomas is favourable, with low recurrence rates after resection. However, long-term follow-up is required to detect any signs of recurrence or malignant transformation. More research is required to improve our understanding of the pathogenesis, optimal management strategies, and outcomes associated with orbital schwannomas, thus improving patient care and outcomes in this rare.
