title: Multiple cavernous hemangiomas of the orbits.
abstract: Intraocular tumors were detected in both orbits simultaneously by computed tomography scanning in a 45-year-old woman complaining of proptosis of the right eye, decreased visual acuity, and diplopia. The tumor in the right orbit was resected by the subfrontal extradural approach, and that in the left orbit by the Krönlein-Berke method. The right tumor was found on the side of the external ear of the muscle cone and the left tumor was located inferiorly on the side of the external ear of the muscle cone. Both tumors were cavernous hemangiomas with identical macroscopic and histologic features.
