Unlabelled: We present a 20 year-old male patient who had prominent positional proptosis of the right eye and admitted to the hospital for tonsillectomy operation. After conventional ophthalmological examination, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and Tc 99m labeled erythrocyte scintigraphy were performed to confirm the diagnosis. Although it is rare to perform scintigraphy for this pathology, the visualization of intraorbital hemangioma was very obvious and we would like to present the visualization of the intraorbital hemangioma both with scintigraphy and MRI.
Conflict Of Interest: None declared.

Endoscopic endonasal transmaxillary approach to intraorbital intraconal cavernous venous malformation.
J Clin Neurosci
January 2025
Neurosurgery, National Institute of Mental Health and Neuroscience, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.
Article Synopsis
- Orbital Cavernous venous malformations (OCVMs) are benign, well-defined lesions that are commonly found in the orbital area, ranking third in prevalence among intraconal pathologies after lymphoid tumors and idiopathic inflammation.
- A middle-aged female patient experienced progressive eye protrusion without visual disturbances; imaging confirmed an intraconal lesion near the optic nerve.
- The lesion was successfully treated using an endoscopic endonasal transmaxillary approach, leading to complete resolution of symptoms and a positive recovery, with pathology confirming it as a cavernous hemangioma.

Article Synopsis
- * A total of 13 cases were reviewed, revealing that EEA was the primary technique used for most tumors, particularly those located near the optic nerve, with additional approaches (TOA and EMMM) employed as needed for extraconal tumors.
- * The results showed an 80% gross-total resection rate and a 69.2% improvement in visual function after surgery, indicating that the combined surgical methods are both safe
Unique properties of clinical manifestation and magnetic resonance imaging for differential diagnosis of optic nerve hemangioblastoma.

Background: To investigate the unique properties of clinical manifestation and radiological imaging for differential diagnosis of optic nerve hemangioblastoma (ONH) from adult optic nerve glioma (ONG) prior to surgical resection.
Methods: ONH and adult ONG patients were recruited from 2012 to 2022.
Results: A total of seven ONH patients (8 eyes) and 23 adult ONG patients (24 eyes) were assessed.

Background: Lesions situated within the orbit pose significant challenges in management due to the confined space they occupy and their proximity to critical anatomical structures. The objective of our study is to assess the feasibility of the ipsilateral endoscopic endonasal approach for orbital cavernous hemangiomas and to comprehend the surgical anatomy of the orbital apex and inferomedial orbital structures.
Methods: Thirteen patients (8 women, 5 men), with ages ranging from 25 to 54 years (mean 35.

Intraorbital wooden foreign bodies are sometimes difficult to diagnose because of nonspecific clinical manifestations and diversity of imaging characteristics. We herein report a case involving a 72-year-old woman with a history of trauma induced by a coated wooden chopstick 3 years prior. Two years after the incident, computed tomography (CT) scan revealed an intraorbital mass that was initially diagnosed as an intraorbital hemangioma.
