Abstract EN
While pediatric orbital tumors are most often managed in tertiary care centers, clinicians should be aware of the signs of intraocular and orbital neoplasms.
In the pediatric population, a delay in diagnosis of orbital and intraocular lesions, even if benign, can lead to vision loss and deformity.
Intraocular lesions reviewed are retinoblastoma, medulloepithelioma, and retinal astrocytic hamartoma.
Orbital neoplasms reviewed are rhabdomyosarcoma, neuroblastoma metastases, optic pathway glioma, plexiform neurofibroma, leukemia, lymphoprolipherative disease, orbital inflammatory syndrome, dermoid and epidermoid inclusion cysts, and Langerhans’ cell histiocytosis.
Vascular lesions reviewed are infantile hemangioma and venous lymphatic malformation.
In conjunction with clinical examination, high-resolution ophthalmic imaging and radiologic imaging play an important role in making a diagnosis and differentiating between benign and likely malignant processes.
The radiologic imaging characteristics of these lesions will be discussed to facilitate prompt diagnosis and treatment.
The current treatment modalities and management of tumors will also be reviewed.
