Description Parameningeal sinus rhabdomyosarcoma has been reported at a rate of 16%, with most cases diagnosed between the ages of 5 and 7 years. These malignancies are often challenging to diagnose given their nonspecific signs and symptoms. If untreated, these neoplasms can rapidly progress to affect nearby structures, including the orbit. We hereby present a case of rapid bilateral visual loss, a rarely reported consequence of this aggressive malignancy.
