Congenital respiratory epithelial cysts of the orbit: a rare cause of major orbital impairment

Eugene Tay et al. Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg. 2014 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

Congenital respiratory epithelial cysts of the orbit are rare lesions with few reported cases. Extensive disease may cause an orbital apex syndrome, resulting in significant visual loss. Two such cases were described, the risk factors associated with surgical morbidity were identified, and the embryological origins of these cysts were reviewed.
