A small well-defined, thin walled, rounded cystic lesion measuring 9 x 8 mm, is seen in the preseptal compartment, along the medial canthus of the left orbit. It has an average density of 14 HU and shows no enhancing components, calcifications or intra-orbital extension. Smooth indentation and remodeling changes are seen in the underlying ethmoid bone.
