Abstract:
An unusual case of an orbital teratoma presenting as recurrent orbital cellulitis in a 2-year-old child. Imaging studies demonstrated an extraconal mass with a bony defect and a malformation of the sphenoid. An ectopic tooth was also present. Malformation and defects in the sphenoid have not been previously reported in association with intraorbital teratoma. Attention is drawn to the need for imaging in children presenting with orbital infections in order to exclude an intraorbital mass.
