Abstract
Ectopic meningiomas within the orbit are very rare. Most of the previously reported cases were located along the medial wall. Here we report on three cases of ectopic meningiomas presenting as superomedial orbital masses along with their radiological and histopathological features. All three patients underwent surgical excision of the tumor via anterior orbitotomy.Keywords
