Microphthalmos with colobomatous orbital cyst: case reports

Microphthalmos with colobomatous orbital cyst is a rare differential diagnosis of congenital orbital tumors. Early diagnosis and adequate treatment are important for orbital and eyelid growth. We present three cases of microphthalmos with colobomatous orbital cyst and demonstrate the importance of imaging techniques. Ultrasonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance and histological study of the ablated mass established the correct diagnosis of colobomatous cyst.
