Glaucoma: Overview

Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...

Case reports in ophthalmology·2025

This case report details an uncommon extraconal orbital cavernous venous malformation (CVM) presenting incidentally. Early detection through careful examination is crucial for managing these rare orbital vascular anomalies.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Cavernous venous malformations (CVMs) are the most frequent benign vascular anomalies in the adult orbit.
  • Typically, CVMs occur within the intraconal space, while extraconal locations are rare.
  • Extraconal orbital CVMs are infrequently documented, often in isolated case reports or small series.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a case of an uncommon extraconal orbital CVM.
  • To emphasize the importance of thorough periocular examination for incidental findings.
  • To contribute to the limited literature on extraconal orbital CVMs.

Main Methods:

  • A 48-year-old female patient presented with decreased near vision.
  • Contrast-enhanced orbital computed tomography revealed a well-defined extraconal lesion.

Comprehensive Endovascular and Open Surgical Management of Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformations

Published on: October 20, 2017

  • Surgical excision via anterior orbitotomy followed by histopathological confirmation.

    • Main Results:

    • The lesion was identified as an extraconal orbital CVM in the inferolateral compartment.
    • The patient's presentation was incidental, with a painless lower eyelid swelling.
    • Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of CVM.

    Conclusions:

    • This case underscores the rarity of extraconal orbital CVMs.
    • Incidental detection highlights the value of comprehensive ocular and periocular examinations.
    • Further case presentations are needed to better understand extraconal orbital CVMs.
