Orbital cyst associated with ocular pit in an adult without microphthalmos

Orbit. 2009;28(2-3):98-100. doi: 10.1080/01676830802594912.

Abstract

We describe an adult without microphthalmos who developed an acquired compressive optic neuropathy secondary to an orbital cyst which showed direct communication with an optic disc pit. Such pits may be revealed by late complications such as orbital compressive cyst of the optic nerve, even in previously normal adult patients.
