Abstract:
The 44 years old male patient had admitted to our clinic with the marked exophthalmos and blindness in his left eye for more than 10 years. The exophthalmometry revealed 10 mm in right and 25mm in left eye. Before operation ultrasonography (A-scan) and phleboorbitography were performed, and retroorbital mass was suspected. Using Kronlein method, lateral orbitotomy was performed on April 11, 1979 and large well encapsulated tumor mass (3.5 x 3 x 3 cm.) was extracted. By pathological study the tumor was confirmed as a carvenous hemangioma. After first operation he had two subsequent operation for the cosmetic problem.
