Abstract
A patient with bilateral orbital neurofibromatosis is described. This patie nt had no other dysmorphic features and no systemic stigmata indicative of Von Recklinghausen's disease or endocrine syndromes. To our knowledge, this is the first report in the literature of isolated bilateral orbital neurof ibromatosis in an otherwise normal patient. (C) 2001 The British Associatio n of Plastic Surgeons.
