Intraorbital ophthalmic artery aneurysm: case report.
A rare case is presented of a nonruptured aneurysm of the intraorbital ophthalmic artery in which successful resection of the aneurysm resulted in improvement of preoperative progressive signs caused by the mass effect of the aneurysm. The surgical management of this rare entity is discussed with special attention given to the collateral circulation of the ophthalmic artery from the external carotid artery.
