Esthesioneuroblastoma is a form of tumor presenting near the nasal cavity. It can cause loss of vision.[1]
It is often considered synonymous with "olfactory neuroblastoma",[2][3]but the tissue of origin is not yet well characterized.
It was first characterized in 1924.[4][5]

[edit] Incidence/prevalence
According to the BBC, only 200 cases of the disease have been recorded worldwide in the past two decades.[6]
A 1997 literature search identified 1,457 cases in the published literature.[7]
[edit] Treatment
Several surgical approaches have been described,[8][9][10][11] but post-excision recurrence rates have remained relatively high.
[edit] Notable cases
The disease was brought into prominence by the case of Chantal Sébire, who was suffering from the disease and ended her life after being denied euthanasia.[12]
