Fibroadipose vascular anomaly (FAVA) is an intramuscular vascular anomaly where venous ectasia and muscle is replaced by fibroadipose tissue. It typically affects adolescents and young adults, who experience pain and swelling, primarily in distal muscles, such as the calf and forearm. We present a case of FAVA affecting the orbital region, posing diagnostic and management challenges. Surgical intervention was successful, with no recurrence over 2 years' follow-up.
