Abstract
- The authors present a rare case of orbital cavernous malformation associated with intracranial venous anomalies. A 7-year-old female patient was admitted to our hospital complaining of headache and progressive diplopia. Neurologic examination revealed a painful proptosis and limited movement of right eye. Magnetic resonance images demonstrated a cavernous malformation in the right orbit, intracerebral cystic cavernous malformation, and well-enhancing vascular marking in the right temporal lobe. On the cerebral angiography, dilated vein of Labb and duplicated transverse sinus were noted. The patient showed marked improvement of her vision after the total removal of the orbital lesion. We believe this is an another evidence that cavernous malformation may be derived from increased burden of cerebral blood flow and/or venous pressure.
