Abstract:
A 69-year old female, complaining of severe ocular pain, marked proptosis, and severe congestion of one eye, was found to have an extensive thrombophlebitis of the orbit. The cause and pathogenesis of this process were undetermined. Authors report a case of idiopathic thrombosis of orbital veins. A review of literature related to this disease was added.
