[Aneurysmal cyst of the orbit (author's transl)]. 1979

P Bourjat, and J Flament, and M Forest

A child of 11 years of age was found to have an aneurysmal cyst of the orbit. This is an extremely rare cause for tumoral exophthalmia in children and the localization in this region is also very unusual. Only 14 cases are reported in the published literature. The main differences in relation to those occurring in the long bones and vertebrae are the constant absence of pain and the almost exclusively osteolytic radiological appearance.
