Primary intraosseous orbital hemangioma: a case report and review of the literature.
Primary intraosseous orbital hemangiomas are rare tumors. Only 25 cases have been reported in the literature. Very few of them have multiple orbital bone involvement. We report a case with extensive involvement of the orbital roof, the medial and lateral walls of the orbit, and the lesser and greater wings of the sphenoid, and describe a unilateral extradural frontotemporal approach to excise the tumor and decompress the right superior orbital fissure and both optic nerves. A brief clinical and radiological review of the literature is presented.
