title: Bilateral microphthalmos with orbital cyst--case report.
abstract: A 3-month-old girl presented with a rare occurrence of bilateral microphthalmos associated with orbital cysts. She underwent subtotal removal of the right orbital cyst. Histological examination was compatible with microphthalmos with orbital cyst. Although microphthalmos associated with orbital cyst is rarely encountered, it must be considered in the differential diagnosis of orbital cystic lesions.
