Salazar Patricia Monsalve Medicina Orbit Teratoma Eye enucleation Orbital teratoma is a rare tumor composed of tissue derived from the three germinal layers, it usually occurs inotherwise healthy newborns as a fluctuating mass in orbit, with extreme proptosis and periorbital deformity. There are few reports in literature about this topic; we present a case report with severe stretching and deformity of perioculartissue, which underwent enucleation and careful removal of the tumor, properly sparing the eyelids and other structures in the anophthalmic cavity to fit an ocular prosthesis. It did well, improving the patient¿s cosmeticappearance and preserving his orbitofacial development. Even though in many cases it is not possible to preserve visualfunction in patients with congenital orbital teratoma, it is equally important to achieve the best possible cosmetic result. 2012 artículo científico 0120-8322 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=28323202010 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=283 Colombia Médica application/pdf Universidad del Valle Colombia Médica (Colombia) Num.1 Vol.43 |
