Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: To report a case of congenital sudoriferous cyst of the orbit with esotropia.
Methods: A 20-day-old male, born prematurely presented with a palpable lump on left upper lid. Orbital ultrasonography including color doppler image and orbital magnetic resonance image were performed to evaluate the lid lesion. The mass was excised and histologically examined. Complete ocular examination including visual acuity, duction, version, and the presence of strabismus were performed.
Results: A well circumscribed round cystic mass, measuring 1.4×1.3 cm was noted at medial superior aspect of the left orbit. It compressed and displaced the left globe to inferior posterior position with intact optic nerve. Histopathologic examination showed the lesion to be a solitary sudoriferous cyst lined by two layers of cuboidal epithelial cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm. After the excision of the mass, limitations of extraocular muscle movements, esotropia, and amblyopia were noted.
Conclusion: If an orbital cyst affects the globe or extraocular muscles, it should be excised as soon as possible to prevent strabismus and amblyopia especially in infant.Korean Journal of Ophthalmology 21(2):120-123, 2007
