Abstract

Cavernous hemangioma is the most common primary orbital tumor in adults. This tumor is usually unilateral and single.The authors experienced a young male patient who complained of postural variations of proptosis and was diagnosed as an orbital cavernous hemangioma associated multiple intracranial lesions. The diagnosis was based on histopathological examination and various radiologic studies including computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). So we report a rare case of cavernous hemangioma which occurred multiplly with a brief review of the literature.
