OBJECTIVE: To study the clinical features, preoperative diagnosis and surgical choice of orbital cavernous hemangioma. METHODS: Records of all cavernous hemangioma patients (209 cases) who were seen in Eye Hospital, Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University from January 1, 1986 to December 31, 2000 were reviewed. RESULTS: Among 209 cases, 123 patients were females and 86 were males. The left orbit was affected in 123 cases and the right orbit in 86 cases. No case was bilaterally involved. The mean age was 39.2 years old, ranging from 5 to 68 years. A painless, gradually progressive proptosis and visual disturbance were the main clinical signs. Ninety-five percent (199/209) of them could be accurately diagnosed preoperatively based on ultrasound scan and CT/MRI examination. The tumors were removed successfully by the surgical procedure of standard lateral orbitotomy in 36% (75/209) of patients and anterior orbitotomy in 64% cases (134/209). CONCLUSIONS: Nearly all patients with cavernous hemangioma could be correctly diagnosed by preoperative image studying. The simple surgical procedure of anterior orbitotomy can be successfully used in about two third of cases with less surgical complication.
