Orbital Aspiration as Treatment of Microphthalmos with Orbital Cyst : A Case Report
Kitthaweesin K 
A 6-month-old girl came to the hospital with swelling of the right lower eyelid, exophthal-
mos, chemosis and upward deviation of the eyeball-all of which had been present since birth. Iris,
optic disc, and chorioretinal coloboma were also apparent.
Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a small globe with a large cystic lesion in the orbit
of the right eye. Pre-and post-operative photographs and magnetic resonance imaging indicated a
safe, simple single orbital aspiration as an alternative treatment for mild microphthalmos with an
orbital cyst.
