Abstract:
Paragangliomas of the orbit are extremely rare. A case of 43-year-old woman who presented with left exophthalmus of 1 month duration is described. The patient underwent surgery with gross total removal of the tumor and relief of her initial chief complaint of exophthalmus. We review the literature and discuss the clinical features and the pathogenesis of orbital paraganglioma.
