RESUMO
The superior orbital fissure syndrome is a rare condition characterized by opthalmoplegia, ptosis, and proptosis of the eye, fixation and dilation of the pupil, and anesthesia of the upper eyelid and forehead. Tumor metastasis to the orbit is uncommon and there were only 11 histologically proven cases of metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma to the orbit. There was only one case of metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma to the orbit with superior orbital fissure syndrome. The prognosis were poor for all reported cases, but palliative radiotherapy could be some help. We report a rare case of metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma to the orbit with superior orbital fissure syndrome.
