Orbital cavernous hemangiomas are common adult tumors presenting with eye protrusion. Surgical removal is recommended for significant symptoms, offering a good prognosis.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Cavernous hemangiomas are the most common primary orbital tumors.
  • These benign vascular tumors typically affect adults.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the diagnostic features and management of orbital cavernous hemangiomas.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of surgical intervention for symptomatic cases.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical presentation and diagnostic imaging (B-scan ultrasonography, CT/MRI).
  • Analysis of treatment outcomes following surgical excision.

Main Results:

  • Common symptoms include proptosis (protrusio bulbi) and orbital enlargement.
  • Imaging modalities like B-scan, CT, and MRI are crucial for diagnosis.

  • Surgical removal is effective for cases with significant proptosis or optic nerve compression.

    • Conclusions:

    • Orbital cavernous hemangiomas are frequently diagnosed in adults.
    • Prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention lead to favorable outcomes.
    • Management should address visual compromise and cosmetic concerns.
