  • Title: [Orbital dermoid cysts. Apropos of a case].
    Author: Poirier L, Brindeau C, Mortemousque B, Williamson W, Leger F, Verin P.
    Journal: J Fr Ophtalmol; 1995; 18(11):695-8. PubMed ID: 8745767.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a 53 year-old female patient with an orbital dermoid cyst. A mass effect with proptosis, hypotropia and choroidal folds was noted. Imaging aspects (radiography, ultrasonography and computed tomography) were highly suggestive of a deep orbital dermoid cyst. A fronto-temporal neuro-surgical approach allowed complete removal of the tumour. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of dermoid cyst. The incidence of orbital dermoid cyst falls significantly after the second decade of life thus making our clinical case original.
