| Popis: | Orbital varices are abnormally enlarged, thin walled veins in direct connection with normal orbital vessels. Stooping, bending, coughing or straining increase the venous tension and in this way can cause symptoms, such as bulging of the eyes (proptosis), orbital pain, bleeding, intermittent double vision. Small varices are managed by observation while larger lesions may require surgery. In our case report we demonstrate the case of a 72-year-old female patient with right sided retro-orbital pressure sensation for weeks, and exophthalmos with blurred vision for 1 week. MR investigation proved the presence of a partially thrombosed orbital varix on the right side, and a smaller, non-thrombosed varix on the left side. Observation was agreed, and the symptoms resolved spontaneously after several weeks. |
