Rhabdomyosarcoma is an extremely virulent rare tumor whose early diagnosis considerably improves survival and visual prognosis. We report the case of a 2-year-old child with levator palpebrae superioris muscle rhabdomyosarcoma revealed by a sudden and isolated blepharoptosis. Initially, clinical and imaging investigations did not show any abnormality but a painful tumor with some hematoma quickly developed, so the investigations were repeated. The CT-scan showed an extra-conal tumor that had developed at the superior part of the orbit. Histology confirmed the diagnosis of embryonic rhabdomyosarcoma. Because of its results, treatment consisting of chemotherapy associating ifosfamide, vincristine, actinomycin and orbital radiotherapy of 40 Gy with a local addition of 10 Gy were administrated with successful results after a 3-year-follow-up.
