Orbital metastatic neuroblastoma presenting as posttraumatic exophthalmos.

A 2-year-old female patient with a recent history of head trauma was admitted to the Ophthalmology Clinic with left exophthalmos. A differential diagnosis between traumatic and tumoral etiology was made. The orbitocranial MRI and fine needle ganglion biopsy settled the malignant etiology of the exophthalmia. Further investigations at the Pediatric Oncology Clinic decided on the diagnosis of orbital metastatic neuroblastoma. This case report presented an unusual association: orbital metastatic neuroblastoma becoming clinically positive soon after a head trauma.
