RESUMEN
El schwannoma es un tumor primario, habitualmente, benigno, procedente de las células de Schwann, productoras de la vaina de mielina que recubre los nervios periféricos. Constituye menos del 10 % de los tumores intracraneales y es infrecuente en la edad pediátrica.Se presenta a un paciente de 6 años y 11 meses de edad, previamente sano, con antecedente de cefalea holocraneana intermitente asociado a proptosis y disminución de la agudeza visual del ojo izquierdo, epífora y estrabismo, con evidencia tomográfica de una masa retroocular. Se realizó la exéresis macroscópicamente completa, con diagnóstico anatomopatológico de schwannoma orbitario
ABSTRACT
Schwannoma is a usually benign primary tumor. It develops from the Schwann cells, which produce the myelin sheath that surrounds the peripheral nerves. It represents less than 10 % of the intracranial tumors, and it is infrequent in the pediatric age.We hereby present a 6-year-and-11-month-old previously healthy patient, with a history of intermittent generalized cephalea associated with proptosis and a diminished visual acuity of the left eye, epiphora and strabismus, with radiological evidence of retro-ocular mass. A macroscopically complete exeresis was performed, with an anatomopathological diagnosis of orbital schwannoma
