Abstract: Cavernous haemangiomas (CHs) are the most common intraorbital tumours found in adults. This tumour occurs in females more frequently than in males and its peak incidence is in early middle age3,4 and it may enlarge during pregnancy4,5. They can encroach on intraorbital or adjacent structures and be considered anatomically or positionally malignant.1,2 Most of these tumours are unilateral and can increase intraorbital volume with a resultant mass effect1. The clinical hallmark is a slowly progressive, painless proptosis, but patients may also present with loss of vision either due to optic nerve compression or hyperopic shift when the mass compresses the posterior pole. In the later case, choroidal folds may be seen on fundus examination. Most orbital cavernous haemangiomas require no intervention, but especially when vision is compromised surgery is indicated. The approach is dictated by tumour location within the orbit. The typical described approaches are lateral orbitotomy, transconjunctival and frontotemporal1,3. We present a case of an orbital CH with visual compromise and its transnasal endoscopic surgical management.
