ABSTRACT
Microphthalmos with colobomatous orbital cyst is a rare differential diagnosis of congenital orbital tumors. Early diagnosis and adequate treatment are important for orbital and eyelid growth. We present three cases of microphthalmos with colobomatous orbital cyst and demonstrate the importance of imaging techniques. Ultrasonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance and histological study of the ablated mass established the correct diagnosis of colobomatous cyst.

RESUMO
Microftalmia com cisto colobomatoso orbitário é raro diagnóstico diferencial dos tumores congênitos orbitários. O diagnóstico precoce e o tratamento adequado são importantes para bom crescimento órbito-palpebral. Descrevemos três casos de microftalmia congênita associada a cisto colobomatoso orbitário e analisamos a importância dos exames complementares. Ultra-sonografia, tomografia computadorizada, ressonância nuclear magnética e o estudo histológico da massa excisada estabeleceram o diagnóstico preciso de cisto colobomatoso.
