Intraorbital ophthalmic artery (OA) aneurysms are rare. They can be asymptomatic or present with visual disturbances, exophthalmos and headaches. We present a case of a 57-year-old man who presented with reduced vision, diplopia and exophthalmos. A carotid artery angiogram identified a right OA aneurysm. Due to the low risk of rupture and the patient's comorbidities including cardiac and renal impairment, a conservative approach was followed. A few weeks post presentation, the patient's vision and optic nerve function had improved. This case reiterates the importance of considering conservative treatment for patients with intraorbital OA aneurysms.
眶内眼动脉(OA)动脉瘤较为罕见。它们可以无症状,或表现为视觉障碍、眼球突出和头痛。我们报告一例57岁男性患者,其表现为视力下降、复视和眼球突出。颈动脉血管造影显示右侧眼动脉动脉瘤。由于破裂风险低且患者存在包括心脏和肾脏损害在内的合并症,故采取了保守治疗方法。就诊几周后,患者的视力和视神经功能有所改善。该病例重申了对眶内眼动脉动脉瘤患者考虑保守治疗的重要性。
