This study highlights a rare case of orbital varices in the left eye, linked to leg varices. The condition caused intermittent exophthalmos and elevated ocular pressure, suggesting a systemic venous wall weakness.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Vascular Medicine
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Orbital varices are uncommon vascular malformations within the orbit.
  • Venous abnormalities can manifest systemically, affecting both ocular and peripheral vasculature.
  • Understanding the etiology of orbital varices is crucial for diagnosis and management.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with intermittent exophthalmos, eyelid and episcleral venous malformations, and elevated intraocular pressure.
  • The clinical signs suggested a constitutional venous wall defect.
  • Associated varices were noted in the legs, indicating a potential systemic venous issue.

Findings:

  • Diagnostic imaging, including ultrasound, Doppler ultrasound, and MRI, was employed.
  • The case was classified as Type 1 orbital varices.

  • Secondary glaucoma was diagnosed, attributed to elevated episcleral venous pressure.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering systemic venous abnormalities in patients with orbital varices.
    • Ocular findings may be indicative of a broader constitutional venous weakness.
    • Further research into the genetic and systemic factors of venous malformations is warranted.
