Abstract A 39-year-old woman presented with a vermiform superior conjunctival mass that progressively enlarged during 4 years of follow-up.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A 45-year-old man presented with precipitous loss of vision and rapidly changing field defects in one eye. Computerized tomography and B-scan ultrasonography revealed a small orbital mass adjacent to the optic nerve.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We present a case of a 65-year-old woman with an orbital varix, who underwent embolization via endovascular coiling.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The present authors describe a case of proptosis in the left eye of a 45-year-old man. CT-scan and HPE supported the diagnosis of a thrombosed orbital varix.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
AU - Kahana,Alon PY - 2016/8/1 Y1 - 2016/8/1 N2 - An orbital venous varix is rare and can present with diplopia, proptosis, or hemorrhage.[experts.umich.edu]
A CT scan of the orbits demonstrated a serpiginous softtissuemass within the superior portion of the right orbit, consistent with a thrombosed orbital varix. Conservative management was agreed with prism glasses and ophthalmological follow-up.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Fine cut contrast-enhanced CT scans usually show ill-defined, heterogeneous multiloculated enhancing softtissuemass(es) with connections to the orbital and extraorbital circulation.[surgicalneurologyint.com]

Palpate the orbital rim, softtissues, masses (note location, shape and size). Check for a globe pulsation or thrill (with the bell of the stethoscope over the closed eye). Check eye movements.[patient.info]
Selenium is found in foods including nuts, meats, fish, poultry, eggs, dairy products and whole grains. Typically, diet alone provides more than the recommended dietary allowance of 55 mcg.[articles.chicagotribune.com]

Because orbital varix treatment is the treatment of a rare vascular orbital tumor disease, chances are that only a few doctors like Dr. Debraj Shome at The Esthetic Clinics will be available with experience in orbital varix treatment.[oculoplastic-eyelid-orbit-surgery.com]
The etiology of this unusual clinical manifestation and the treatment of the patient are briefly discussed.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This treatment resulted in an intralesional thrombosis with subsequent enlargement of the varix, leading to a compressive optic neuropathy and severe vision loss.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This method of treatment has the advantage of limiting traumatic dissection and avoiding difficult venous catheterization.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis is very poor. Metastases : In children the orbit may be the site of secondary deposits from neuroblastoma or acute leukaemia.[patient.info]

The patient had sustained facial trauma two years previously and a post-traumatic etiology is postulated. The patient's clinical, physical and radiologic findings are discussed, and the characteristic features of orbital varices are reviewed.[jhu.pure.elsevier.com]
The etiology of orbital varicosities is unknown and the literature is sparse. They are most commonly asymptomatic.[panafrican-med-journal.com]
Courtesy of Michael Migliori, MD Etiology Orbital varices are venous malformations of the orbit, vascular hamartomas. [1] [2] They consist of a plexus of thin-walled distensible low flow vein-like vessels that are commonly intrinsic to the normal circulation[eyewiki.aao.org]
Epidemiology: Orbital varix, being a very uncommon condition, constitutes for approximately 1.3% of all orbital tumours.[oculoplastic-eyelid-orbit-surgery.com]

The clinical, radiographic, surgical, and histopathologic features of this entity are described and discussed and a hypothesis is proposed to explain the pathophysiology of orbital varix thrombosis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A pathophysiologic mechanism has been proposed and this entity has been placed in the spectrum of orbital vascular lesions. Recommendations for the diagnostic evaluation and management of patients with thrombosed orbital varices have been offered.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The pathophysiology of these latter headaches could be related to congestion and dilation of cerebral venous sinuses and large veins [ 6 ]. We present a postural headache related to an orbital varix.[jneuro.com]
