Abstract
Mucinous cystadenoma is a rare cause of unilateral proptosis at birth. A two day old female baby presented with non-pulsatile, transiliuminantaxial proptosis right eye. On CT scan cystic lesion was seen behind the globe in retrobulbar space. Gross total excision of cyst was done through trans-frontal craniotomy approach. Histopathological examination revealed mucinous cystadenoma. This case has been reported because of rarity of this condition.
