The orbital cavity, covering the globe and basement of the lids, is partially or totally impaired by tumors arising from inside or outside. In childhood, the reduction of contents jeopardizes the size of the orbit. Reconstruction is always difficult, particularly after exenteration, and a well-made prosthesis is much better than a poor reconstruction.
