Journal Title: Journal of the Indian Medical Association - Year 2019, Vol 117, Issue 8
Abstract
To present a rare case of unilateral orbital varix. A 65-year-old woman with unilateral orbital mass was examined with color Doppler ultrasonography (USG), computed tomography (CT). The presenting symptom of the patient was proptosis in right eye at will, at any time, just by stooping down for a few minutes. There was no associated ocular motility disorder or diplopia Ocular examination was normal with the exception of an 18 millimetre proptosis of right eyes during Valsalva manoeuvre. The comparison of contrast-enhanced spiral CT scan obtained before and after Valsalva manoeuvre revealed the diagnosis of orbital varix. Color Doppler US revealed a large venous connection between the lesions and systemic circulation. Clinical presentation of orbital varix is unusual. Different radiological tools help for the confirmation of the diagnosis and delineate the anatomic and the dynamic features of the lesion.
