Abstract:
A 40 year-old female was admitted to our hospital because of proptosis for 4 years. Detecting a 2 cm-sized retrobulber mass on computerized tomography, we extracted well capsulated reddish brown mass, which confirmed as a cavernous hemangioma by histologic examination. One year postoperatively, her proptosis was gone, visual acuity was normal, and ocular motility was good.
