Periorbital dermoid cysts occur mainly in children. Sonography is useful for the noninvasive, nonionizing evaluation of soft tissue lesions in infants and children without requiring sedation or anesthesia. We report the sonographic appearance of 25 periorbital dermoid cysts and identified that all are avascular oval lesions located below the aponeurotic plane. Nonaggressive bone remodeling was present in 52% of the cases. These finding in pediatric periorbital lesions are highly suspicious of a periorbital dermoid cyst.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
