Abstract:

Localized neurofibromas are rare in the orbit and, unlike plexiform neurofibromas, are not typically associated with von Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis. To our knowledge, bilaterality of such localized neurofibromas has been reported only once.1 We report a patient known to have Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMTD) who developed multiple localized neurofibromas in both orbits.
