Proptosis accompanied by visual loss is an uncommon presentation in children and suggests an orbital tumor. We found that visual outcome was better when the nerve was not involved by tumor. Optic nerve glioma was the most common cause and failed to respond to various treatments. Catheterization for arteriovenous malformation did not prevent proptosis, and final visual acuity fluctuated. Surgery for rhabdomyosarcoma and xanthogranuloma led to remission with preservation of vision in 2 of 3 cases.
