dc.description.abstractIn this study, we aimed to present a rare case of pulsatile proptosis due to sphenoid wing dysplasia without the features of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). A 17-year-old male patient presented with swelling in the superotemporal region of the right eye. Physical examination revealed facial asymmetry with a pulsatile, ill-defined, soft lesion with in the superotemporal region of the right orbit associated with pulsatile proptosis, downward dystopia, and hypotropia. Computer tomography imaging to establish a differential diagnosis showed temporal lobe herniation secondary to sphenoid wing dysplasia. The patient was assessed for NF1, which is most commonly associated with sphenoid wing dysplasia, but no evidence supporting the diagnosis was found. Patients presenting with proptosis should be carefully examined for pulsation and murmurs, and a trauma history should be investigated. Radiological imaging should be used to facilitate the differential diagnosis, and the current clinical condition should be managed with a multidisciplinary approach.
