Abstract

A 29-year-old female patient displayed a dense and hard left orbital mass, inferiorly, 3 years after she was treated through a neurosurgical approach for a left orbital varix. The lesion was hyperdense on CT-scan and was removed through a trans-conjunctival approach, with an excellent result. The histological diagnosis was a phlebolith.
