title: [Intraorbital infected cyst in the adult].
abstract: Orbital dermoïd cyst is a rare tumour, whose pathogenesis remains unclear. This is a childhood pathology. It is usually located in the lateral orbit. This tumour is rarely observed during adulthood, and complications are often responsible for the symptomatology. We present a new case with late presentation and because of its variety, a review of the literature.
