Article Abstract

A rare case of congenital orbital teratoma that developed concurrently with the clinical findings of metopic sutural synostosis in an infant is presented. A cause-and-effect and/or embryologic relationship between these two cephalic malformations is possible, although coincidental occurrence is equally probable. The proximity of these congenital anomalies permitted complete resolution in a one-stage craniofacial procedure without alteration in the surgical technique.
