J Int Med Res. 2023 Dec;51(12):3000605231218634. doi: 10.1177/03000605231218634.

Abstract

Dermoid cysts are one of the most common benign orbital tumours in children and usually occur unilaterally. Bilateral dermoid cysts in the orbit are rare. We report here, a case of bilateral orbital dermoid cysts, in a 29-month-old baby girl. The patient's prognosis was favourable following surgical resection. Through this case report, we hope to increase the recognition and understanding of this condition.

Keywords: Bilateral; dermoid cysts; eyebrow arch; orbit.
