A cavernous venous malformation of the orbit mimicking an idiopathic orbital inflammation

Orbital cavernous venous malformations (CVMs) are usually slow progressing. Multiple CVMs, bilateral orbital CVMs, and acute presentations are rare. We present a rare, bilateral, orbital CVM with acute painful visual loss in the left eye. The initial clinical presentation mimicked an idiopathic orbital inflammation. Orbital magnetic resonance imaging revealed its rare location at the left orbital apex. Finally, pathology confirmed the presence of an intralesional hemorrhage of a CVM.
