Schwannoma Masquerading as Recurrent Painful Ophthalmoplegic Neuropathy: A Diagnostic Dilemma

Shaza N Al-Holou et al. J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. .

Abstract

Recurrent painful ophthalmoplegic neuropathy, or ophthalmoplegic migraine, is characterized by recurrent cranial nerve paresis following headache. Imaging may demonstrate cranial nerve enhancement during episodes, but absence of structural lesions is required for diagnosis. [J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2020;57:e68-e70.].
