|June 1, 1985
Summary
Cavernous haemangiomas are the most common orbital tumors. This study details three cases presenting with vision loss and proptosis, highlighting diagnostic imaging and surgical removal.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Neurosurgery
- Radiology
Background:
- Cavernous haemangioma is the most frequent primary orbital tumor.
- Orbital tumors can cause significant visual impairment and proptosis.
Observation:
- Three patients presented with vision deterioration and painless unilateral exophthalmos.
- Clinical presentation included proptosis and visual decline.
Findings:
- Diagnostic imaging like X-rays, ultrasonography, and CT scans are crucial for identifying orbital cavernous haemangioma.
- Surgical removal via a transcranial approach was performed in all cases.
Implications:
- Early and accurate diagnosis of orbital cavernous haemangioma is essential for effective management.
- Surgical intervention can successfully treat orbital cavernous haemangioma, improving patient outcomes.
