[Olfactory neuroblastoma disclosed by blindness in a 9-month-old girl].

A case of olfactory neuroblastoma in a 9 month-old girl is reported. Blindness and purulent meningitis were the first symptoms. Radiological examinations including CT scan revealed a sphenoidal tumor with penetration of the meninges. Surgery revealed an ethmoido-sphenoidal tumor mass extending into the pituitary fossea which consisted of malignant cells with the histological aspect of esthesioneuroblastoma. The rarity of this tumor in early childhood and its clinical polymorphism are emphasized.
