title: Nontraumatic orbital leptomeningeal cyst in an adult: case report.
abstract: To our knowledge, there is no reported case of visual disturbance associated with a nontraumatic orbital leptomeningeal cyst in the literature. We report the first such case and discuss the differential diagnosis of cystic lesions of the meninges that may be found on the surface of the brain.
