Methods: A retrospective analysis conducted on 18 cases of Benign cystic orbital lesions with age range of 3 months to 50yrs over 3 years . Clinic-radiological reduction in size was the outcome parameter .

Cyst aspiration was performed using 18 g needle under under full aseptic precautions. Foam was prepared- using Tessari method [Sodium Tetradecyl Sulphate (30mg/ml)], 10% volume equivalent of total aspirate was injected] followed by patching

Follow up for outcome and complications was done on day 1 st , 30 th, 90 th day

Results: At the end of 90 days ,78% cysts led to cosmetically acceptable reduction in size, 11% resulted in resolution after second injection and 11% required surgical intervention.
