Surgical excision of the tumour and the microphthalmic eye was undertaken when the child was two years old. Findings at the, operation included a giant cyst that was partially intraorbital with a portion of it extending into the temporal fossa, a microphthalmic eye with cataract and non-closure of the zygomatico-frontnl suture. Six months after surgery, there was no evidence of recurrence of the tumour.
