Abstract:
Orbital dermoid cysts are benign choristomas that are very common in children and occur most often as a lateral or medial mass associated with the frontozygomatic or frontoethmoidal suture line. The authors present an unusual case of an occult giant deep orbital dermoid cyst in infancy that initially presented with a small, benign appearance and central upper eyelid location on clinical exam. Orbitotomy with complete excision prevented further ocular sequelae in this 11-month-old.
