Pediatric orbital tumors are a rare entity; they differ in their clinical and imaging appearance as well as in their histological nature. In this study, we report a retrospective analysis of a series of 21 cases of orbital tumors in children collected in the Maxillo-Facial surgery department at IBN ROCHD University hospital center in Casablanca during 9 years, from 2015 to 2023. The most affected age group is between 10 and 15 years, with a male predominance and a sex ratio of 3.2. Clinically, proptosis was the primary symptom in 76% of the cases. Fourteen patients underwent orbital and cerebral CT scans, which revealed various radiological features of each tumor, while MRI was used for 9 patients (43% of cases). While the majority of the lesions were benign (57%), orbital retinoblastoma was the most common tumor in 19% of cases, followed by rhabdomyosarcoma (14.28%) and orbital cysts (14.28%). The therapeutic management was multidisciplinary. All the patient underwent a surgical procedure; chemotherapy was needed in 33% of cases and radiotherapy in 4.76% of cases. This study aims to document and share the experience of the maxillofacial surgery department of Casablanca with pediatric orbital tumors.
