title: Acute presentation of cavernous hemangioma of the orbit.
abstract: Cavernous hemangioma of the orbit typically presents as a slow-growing tumor with gradual onset of symptoms. Acute onset of clinical signs and symptoms, are a rare feature. We present the case of a 40-year-old female, who developed sudden onset of clinical symptoms. MRI evidence of intralesional hemorrhage was confirmed by histopathology.
