Resection of an orbital rim intraosseous cavernous hemangioma and reconstruction by chin graft and resorbable fixation plate.
Intraosseous hemangiomas are uncommon in the orbital rim and pose difficulties for removal and reconstruction. Here we report an excellent cosmetic and functional outcome following en bloc resection and reconstruction, using a corticocancellous bone graft from the chin and LactoSorb perforated tray plate. The lesion treated is characterized by both computed axial tomography and histology, while the postsurgical bony contour also is revealed by CT.
