    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Dermoid Cysts

    Background:

    • Dermoid cysts are congenital tumors that can occur in the orbit.
    • Deep orbital locations and cutaneous drainage are uncommon presentations for orbital dermoid cysts.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report a rare case of a deep orbital dermoid cyst with a draining sinus in a pediatric patient.
    • To describe the successful surgical management of this complex orbital tumor.

    Main Methods:

    • A 6-year-old girl with a deep orbital dermoid cyst presenting with a draining sinus was treated.
    • Krönlein orbitotomy was utilized for the complete tumor excision.

    Main Results:

    • The dermoid cyst extended from the orbital apex through the lateral wall to the skin.

  • Complete surgical removal of the cyst was achieved via Krönlein orbitotomy.
  • The patient maintained vision post-operatively.

    • Conclusions:

    • Krönlein orbitotomy is an effective surgical approach for deep orbital dermoid cysts with rare presentations.
    • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for preserving vision in pediatric orbital tumors.
