amoxicillin-potassium-clavulanate-combination and Orbital-Neoplasms

Dermoid cysts are one of the most common non-inflammatory space-occupying orbital lesions in the pediatric population. They are ectodermal cysts which may contain squamous epithelium with dermal contents such as skin, hair follicles, sebaceous glands, or sweat glands. Dermoid cyts are often innocent, however complications such as inflammation of the fistula or preseptal cellulitis are occasionally seen. We present a case of a 6-year-old girl with a glabellar dermoid cyst and describe the appropriate investigations and definitive treatment.
