Cavernous haemangioma of the orbit.

Cavernous haemangioma is considered to be the most common primary orbital tumour. We present 3 cases of cavernous haemangioma of the orbit managed by medial orbitotomy combined with medial orbital decompression. This approach was performed for lesions occurring medial to the optic nerve in an attempt to reduce the surgical morbidity reported following lateral orbitotomy or transcranial orbitotomy.
