title: [Orbital teratoma--microsurgical therapy possibilities].
abstract: Microsurgical removal of a large congenital orbital teratoma is reported with successful preservation of visual function. The importance of interdisciplinary work-up including neuroradiology, ophthalmology, maxillo-facial surgery and histopathology is demonstrated. During the postoperative period closed follow-up to control refraction and to treat amblyopia is mandatory to gain optimal results.
