Abstract
The authors report a case of bilateral orbital varices in a 19-year-old man with a 7-year history of intermittent left proptosis and dystopia. CT demonstrated enhancing lesions with phleboliths and gadolinium-enhanced MRI showed characteristic hyperintense lesions. The asymptomatic right lesion was treated conservatively; the left lesion was excised following intralesional injection of cyanoacrylate. Bilaterality in orbital varices may not be obvious clinically and only diagnosed radiologically. A multidisciplinary approach involving the ophthalmologist and interventional radiologist using intraoperative fluoroscopy enabled accurate characterization, delineation, embolizationm, and excision of the lesion with good hemostatic control.
