Vascular malformations of the orbit (lymphatic, venous, arteriovenous): Diagnosis, management and results

Vascular malformations are often found inside the orbit. Isolated venous malformations (frequently misnamed as cavernous hemangiomas) are the most frequent among these. However, also lymphatic and arteriovenous malformations can affect the orbit. The complex anatomy of the orbit and the fact that its content easily suffers from compartmental syndrome explain why treating orbital vascular malformations can be challenging and technically demanding.In this study, two institutions have retrospectively collected their cases, consisting in a total of 69 vascular malformations of the orbit.
