Orbital cherubism can occur after puberty, even with normal facial features. Regular eye exams are crucial for patients with cherubism to detect potential orbital complications.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Cherubism is a rare genetic disorder typically affecting the jawbones.
  • Facial and jaw abnormalities are characteristic, often regressing after puberty.

Observation:

  • A 27-year-old female presented with bilateral temporal orbital masses and superonasal globe displacement.
  • Despite a history of cherubism, she lacked typical facial fullness.
  • Computed tomography (CT) revealed bilateral multicystic bony lesions in the orbital floors.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision and histopathology confirmed cherubism, showing giant cells in a fibrovascular stroma.
  • The orbital lesions caused significant globe displacement and masses.
  • Complete postoperative recovery was achieved.

Implications:

  • Orbital involvement in cherubism can manifest later in life, independent of jaw lesion activity.
  • Ophthalmologic surveillance is essential for all cherubism patients to identify and manage orbital disease.
  • Early detection and surgical intervention can prevent vision-threatening complications.
