Abstract
Cavernous hemangiomas are the most frequently found primary tumors in the orbital region. They normally appear in adults. Diagnostic features in the majority of cases include protrusio bulbi and orbital enlargement. B-Scan and computed tomography/MRI are the prime diagnostic aids. We recommend surgical removal of these tumors, at least in cases with marked orbital protrusion or significant optic nerve compression. The prognosis is usually good.Entities:
