Abstract

Cavernous hemangiona is the most common primary orbital tumor. The authors experienced two cases of orbital cavernous hemangioma recently. In the first case, a 8-year old Korean girl visited our department in Apr. 11,1978 with right exophthalmos which had showed progressive enlargement in 2 years. The computed tomographic examination of the orbit revealed irregular, partly lobulated mass density with an attenuation value approximating soft tissue in the medial portion of right retrobulbar region. In the second case, a 6-year old Korean girl visited our department in Apr. 16, 1979 with left exophthalmos showed in 3 weeks after trauma. The computed tomographic examination of the orbit revealed well defined mixed soft mass density in the left rerobulbar space. The mass were excised by Killian's approach and histopathologic examination revealed cavernous hemangioma.
