VASCULAR ORBITAL TUMORS AT THE EXTREMES OF THE AGE SPECTRUM.

Vascular orbital lesions are rare and, due to the controversy surrounding their origin, frequently difficult to diagnose. Studies showed that approximately 10% of orbital space-occupying lesions are of vascular origin. The most frequent are capillary hemangioma in children and cavernous hemangioma, which, although congenital, reveals itself in adults. Two cases of vascular tumors in patients, at the extremes of the age spectrum are presented.
