Abstract Purpose:To report a child affected by Burkitt lymphoma originating in the sphenoid sinus with esotropia as the initial manifestation.

Case:A 3-year-old boy was referred to us for esotropia and headache. He showed, bilaterally, visual loss, impaired abduction with esotropia, and optic disc edema. Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)showed a tumor in the sphenoidal sinus involving, bilaterally, the superior optic fissure and cavernous sinus. Histopathologically, the tumor was diagnosed with Stage Ⅳ Burkitt lymphoma originating in the sphenoidal sinus. After start of chemotherapy, the intracranial tumor decreased in size with improvement of abducens palsy and disc edema. There has been no recurrence for 5 years until present.

Conclusion:There has been no report of Burkitt lymphoma originating in the sphenoid sinus in a child. Early detection followed by treatment was possible in the present case due to infiltration to abducens nerves with acute esotropia.
