Abstract
The evolution of the undifferentiated carcinoma of the nasopharynx (NPC) is marked by the occurrence of regional or distant metastasis. We report a rare observation of bilateral orbital metastasis of NPC. Clinical symptoms were ocular proptosis, blurred vision and eye redness. Imaging permitted to precise the extensions of the tumor which was classified T4N1M1 after clinical and paraclinical exams. The treatment consisted of concomitant radiochemotherapy. The evolution didn't revealed recurrence of the disease after 18 months.
