Abstract

A 43-year-old woman with a recurrent adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lacrimal gland was treated by orbital exenteration and reconstruction. Eight days later she developed symptoms of cerebral irritation and a computed tomogram showed intracerebral and subarachnoid air. She recovered with conservative treatment.
