Abstract



Neuroblastoma occurs mainly in childhood and approximately 20% of
cases have orbital metastases. Proptosis can be the only manifestation of
metastatic neuroblastoma. Early investigation is important, as metastatic
disease requires aggressive management. We present a case of a 7-yearold
girl initially presenting with proptosis.
