    Orbital dermoids, a type of orbital tumor, present differently in children versus adults. Management varies based on lesion depth and complexity, requiring tailored surgical approaches.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Orbital dermoids are benign tumors that can affect vision and ocular structures.
    • Understanding their presentation is crucial for effective management.
    • This review analyzes a series of orbital dermoid cases.

    Observation:

    • Orbital dermoids constituted 6% of orbital tumors at the University of British Columbia Orbital Clinic.
    • Superficial lesions were common in children and could be surgically removed directly.
    • Deep lesions occurred in adolescents and adults, often extensive and complex.

    Findings:

    • Superficial orbital dermoids appeared equally medially and laterally.
    • Deep orbital dermoids necessitated meticulous preoperative planning due to their complexity.

  • The study discusses origins, clinical presentations, differential diagnoses, and treatment strategies.

    • Implications:

    • Differentiating superficial from deep orbital dermoids is key for surgical planning.
    • Early diagnosis and appropriate management can prevent complications.
    • This research contributes to the understanding of orbital tumor management.
