The treatment of orbital varicosities
Abstract:
Varicosities or swollen veins of the periorbital temporal and frontal areas are uncommon except when tumor or inflammatory diseases involve the orbit. The recent surge of interest in cosmetic appearance has created a new concern in some patients about dilated veins of the periorbital area that have previously been considered normal. These engorged vessels are considered as cosmetic blemishes and thus present the physician with a problem. A new successful technique of electrothrombosis with an insulated 27-gauage needle is described, and the experience in three cases is discussed.
