Experience in the treatment of giant orbital intraconal teratoma: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
rationaleOrbital teratoma is a relatively rare disease in infancy. In the pediatric population undergoing significant growth and development, the presence of giant orbital masses can significantly affect orbital volumes and impair the visual function. Traditional treatments may not yield anticipated effectiveness, often leading to numerous complications. This report aims to present a rare case involving a giant orbital intraconal teratoma. The objective is to analyze the treatment course comprehensively, distill valuable experiences and lessons learned, enhance treatment strategies, and ultimately reduce the incidence of complications associated with these formidable pediatric tumors. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 2-year-old female child was presented exhibiting proptosis and inward and upward eyeball displacement. Enhanced magnetic resonance imaging revealed a well-circumscribed mass, persisting with hypointense signals on T1-weighted images (T1WI) and hyperintense signals on T2-weighted images (T2WI). DIAGNOSES: The diagnosis of teratoma was confirmed finally through histological and immunohistochemical exams.
interventionsA transconjunctival approach via the inferior fornix, coupled with canthotomy and cantholysis, was performed. However, a month postsurgery, the patient developed enophthalmos, conjunctival hyperemia, and keratitis upon ocular examination. A second operation involved the implantation of allogeneic sclera into the orbit to increase orbital volume, improve the pitting of the fossa, and restore keratitis to normal. OUTCOMES: No recurrence and other complications were noted during the 1-year follow-up. LESSONS: Giant orbital teratomas in children are infrequent and pose significant challenges in the field of therapy. The potential consequences of larger orbital masses in childhood, including increased orbital volume and the risk of postoperative enophthalmos and keratitis. The findings emphasize the importance of timely implantation into the orbital after mass excision to enhance orbital volume and reduce the incidence of complications.
