Coexistent orbital and cerebellar venous anomalies in linear sebaceous naevus syndrome.
BACKGROUND
Orbital venous anomalies can result in significant morbidity and have been reported in association with other venous anomalies, some with the potential for serious complication.


RESULTS
We present a case of an orbital venous anomaly coexistent with a large cerebellar venous angioma and a linear sebaceous naevus. Clinical features, associations, complications and management principles are presented.


CONCLUSIONS
Upon clinical recognition of an orbital venous anomaly, brain imaging and appropriate clinical assessment should be considered in light of the possibility of coexistence of potentially life-threatening lesions.
