Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg. 2015 Nov-Dec;31(6):427-36. doi: 10.1097/IOP.0000000000000504.

Abstract

Purpose: To review the treatment modalities available to clinicians who treat orbital and periocular vascular anomalies, with a focus on newer approaches.

Methods: The authors' experience, along with a literature review, was used to provide a concise summary of the available approaches to the treatment of periocular vascular anomalies. Emerging diagnostic tools and therapies are highlighted.

Results: The treatment of orbital and periocular vascular anomalies, including vascular malformations and tumors, increasingly utilizes a multidisciplinary team and a combination of endovascular, percutaneous, and open surgical techniques.

Conclusions: A growing reliance on new instrumentation and tools in a team-oriented approach to treatment may lead to better results with improved visual function and cosmesis and with reduced risk of complications.
