abstract: Cavernous hemangiomas are benign vascular orbital lesions that exert a slowly progressive mass effect. They usually occur in adults. The authors report an unusual case of a large orbito-palpebral cavernous hemangioma with peculiar history and symptoms. The main clinical and radiological characteristics of this tumor are recalled together with the basis of surgical management.
