title: Chronic orbital hematic cysts: a case for craniofacial correction.
abstract: Chronic hematic cysts are rare conditions that usually present to the ophthalmic surgeons with displacement of the globe. There is usually no, or minimal, bone involvement. Two patients with unusual presentations of chronic orbital hematic cysts are reported. These cysts resulted in significant expansion and erosion of the bony orbits. The presentation, operative findings, and reconstruction are reported and discussed.
