Orbital and periorbital venolymphatic malformations (VLMs) are benign congenital vascular lesions and constitute 1%-3% of all orbital masses. Widespread facial venous malformations have a high incidence of associated intracranial developmental venous anomalies (DVAs). In such cases, there can be a sudden increase in proptosis following upper respiratory infection or minor trauma. Numerous percutaneous intralesional sclerosing agents like sodium tetradecyl sulfate (STS), bleomycin, doxycycline, ethanol, and OK-432 (Picibanil) have been used for treating VLMs. We hereby report a rare case of retro-orbital VLM treated successfully with STS injection and an isolated dural arterio-venous (AV) fistula in the same patient.
