Abstract

Primary intraosseous orbital hemangiomas are rare tumors. Only 25 cases have been reported in the literature. Very few of them have multiple orbital bone involvement. We report a case with extensive involvement of the orbital roof, the medial and lateral walls of the orbit, and the lesser and greater wings of the sphenoid, and describe a unilateral extradural frontotemporal approach to excise the tumor and decompress the right superior orbital fissure and both optic nerves. A brief clinical and radiological review of the literature is presented.
