Overview

Case report reveals cranial nerve infiltration in primary adenoid cystic carcinoma, highlighting imaging needs.

Key Points

  • The case highlights a rare primary adenoid cystic carcinoma presenting with skull base infiltration.
  • Imaging techniques revealed infiltration along the maxillary, vidian, and infraorbital nerves.
  • Palliative chemoradiotherapy led to partial regression of the tumor with further imaging showing improvement.
  • Early diagnosis through MRI and CT is crucial for managing this uncommon orbital tumor effectively.
