Summary

Orbital meningocele, a rare condition where cranial contents protrude through the skull, can present as a large orbital mass. This case highlights diagnosis in a 15-month-old girl using advanced imaging.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Encephalocele is a congenital protrusion of cranial contents through skull defects.
  • Orbital meningocele is a rare subtype, often presenting as an exophthalmic mass.
  • Incidence ranges from 1 in 3,000 to 10,000 births.

Observation:

  • A 15-month-old girl presented with a giant orbital meningocele.
  • The mass manifested as a significant orbital abnormality.
  • Clinical presentation included exophthalmos.

Findings:

  • Computed tomography (CT) scans confirmed the orbital mass.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provided detailed anatomical information.
  • Diagnosis of orbital meningocele was established preoperatively.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of advanced imaging in diagnosing rare pediatric orbital masses.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate surgical planning and management.
  • Understanding orbital meningocele presentation aids in distinguishing it from other orbital pathologies.
