Abstract
Intraorbital meningiomas are uncommon tumours that usually represent e xtension from a primary intracranial tumour. Trauma has been proposed by Cushing and Eisenhardt as an etiologic factor in the development of meningioma following head injury. We report a case of primary post-tr aumatic intraorbital meningioma and discuss its pathogenesis and manag ement.
