Fungal orbital infections are rare among children, especially in immunocompetent infants. Two infants presented to us with unilateral proptosis and swelling of the eyelids and periorbital area. Imaging showed an intraorbital mass causing proptosis and bony orbital expansion. There was no sinus, nasal, or intracranial involvement. Systemic evaluation did not reveal any evidence of a compromised immune system. A biopsy from the mass showed the presence of fungal infection. Both infants responded well to medical therapy with intravenous amphotericin B.
