Primary meningioma of the orbit is very rare. A radical surgical treatment of primary meningioma of the orbit by a thirteen years old boy was carried out. Main symptoms communicated by the patient were amblyopia, which terminated in blindness, as well as increasing exophtalmos of a bulbus oculi. After the operation a regression of exophtalmos has been achieved while the blindness stayed unchanged.
