Abstract
Esthesioneuroblastoma is a rare tumor that originates in the olfactory epithelium and can invade the orbit. We report a case in which the first symptom was a post-traumatic paralysis of the IV cranial nerve. Whether the tumor itself or the trauma or a combination of the two factors caused the paralysis is discussed.
