Confronting perimenopausal women’s knowledge of coronary heart disease with their health behaviours. Controversial role of hormone replacement therapy in the protection of coronary heart disease
Neurofibromas are tumors consisting of a proliferation of periph¬eral nerves that can affect almost any organ, soft tissue, bone or anatomical site.

We report a case of a 49-old woman with localized orbital neuro¬fibroma, not related to neurofibromatosis. We performed a total resection using Ulivieri’s extended lateral approach, with no tumor recurrence at 6-month follow-up.

Keywords

orbital neurofibroma, orbital surgery, Ulivieri’s ex¬tended lateral approach
