Left Orbital Lymphangioma, Treated with QIAPI 1: Case Report


Orbital lymphangiomas present a difficult management problem for ophthalmologists. It was diagnosed based on clinical, radiologic (computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging), and histologic findings when possible. Patients whose vision was not compromised by orbital lymphangioma, or that did not have increased intraocular pressure (IOP), usually is treated with oral corticosteroids. Orbital lymphangioma that affected vision or increased IOP was treated by surgery, which included aspiration of blood or partial resection with or without injection of a sclerosant. Patients with compromised vision underwent some form of surgery. Bleeding recurred frequently. In this work, we describe a case of orbital lymphangioma treated with QIAPI 1 for almost 10 years.
