Cavernous Haemangioma

Hemangiomas are abnormally dense collections of dilated small blood vessels (capillaries) that may occur in the skin or internal organs. The tumor usually rests inside the extraocular muscle cone (that space immediately behind the eye surrounded by the muscles which move the eye). Cavernous hemangioma is a vascular tumor, which contains stagnant blood. It contains stagnant blood. If the tumor causes compression of the optic nerve with associated peripheral vision loss or other signs of optic nerve compromise, the tumor must usually be excised. A cavernous hemangioma may diminish in size following trauma, bleeding or ulceration but it rarely disappears on its own. Small cavernous hemangiomas situated on the surface of the body may be removed or treated by electrocoagulation. Surgery is usually needed if a cavernous hemangioma causes increased growth of an extremity. This results in gradual enlargement of the lesion and resulting symptoms due to mass effect. In one series, the incidence of symptomatic hemorrhage was 1.1% per lesion per year.

Symptoms of Cavernous Haemangioma

Some Symptoms of Cavernous Haemangioma :

Low flow vascular lesion.
Vision not usually affected unless mass is pushing on the eye.
ECHO shows intraconal mass.
Unilateral, painless proptosis.

Treatment of Cavernous Haemangioma

Cavernous hemangiomas that involve the eyelid and obstruct vision are generally treated with injections of steroids or laser treatments that rapidly reduce the size of the lesions, allowing normal vision to develop. Large cavernous hemangiomas or mixed hemangiomas, when appropriate, are treated with oral steroids and injections of steroids directly into the hemangioma.
