Abstract

Purpose: To describe a rare case of orbital hemangiopericytoma. Methods: Case report of an association of blepharoptosis with orbital hemangiopericytoma. Results: When the lesion was surgically removed the position of the upper eyelid returned to normal. Conclusions: Anterior orbital lesions can lead to blepharoptosis by compression of the levator palpebrae muscle.
