Embolization of an orbital varix after surgical exposure

AJNR Am J Neuroradiol. 1998 May;19(5):921-3.

Abstract

We report a case of primary orbital varix treated by embolization with coils after surgical exposure and puncture of the venous ectasia. This method of treatment has the advantage of limiting traumatic dissection and avoiding difficult venous catheterization.
