Abstract
Vascular lesions constitute up to 10–15 % of all orbital tumors (Rodgers R, Grove SA (2000) Vascular lesions of the orbit. In: Albert D, Jakobiec F, Azar D et al. (eds) Principles and practice of ophthalmology, 2nd edn, vol 4. WB Saunders Company, Philadelphia, pp 3144–3154). The shape, color, and invasiveness differ within each group: from bright red to deep blue and from a well-demarcated lesion to a more infiltrative tumor within the surrounding orbital tissue. Intraorbital vascular malformations can be categorized into arteriovenous malformation, venous malformation, and lymphatic malformation, each category having different clinical presentation, imaging characteristics, and management.
