Introduction: The prevalence of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in pediatric cystic fibrosis (CF) patients is comparable to the general population, but the effects of ADHD on CF treatment and the outcomes have been minimally investigated.

Both patients had previous cutaneous SCC of the scalp treated successfully with surgical resection but later presented with neuro-ophthalmic findings suggesting perineural invasion (PNI) of SCC. PNI of SCC in the periocular skin or orbit can lead to devastating effects if malignant cells seed into the orbit and adjacent cranial nerves as our two patients developed an orbital apex syndrome.
