Overview
- What this deck teaches you
Introduction and Classification
Sorting orbital vascular lesions by how blood moves through them
- What counts as a vascular disorder of the orbit?
- The key idea: hemodynamics (how the blood flows)
- Rootman's three hemodynamic types
- Reading the three types in plain English
- The clinical classification used in this chapter
- Neoplasm versus malformation - a vital distinction
Benign Neoplasms of Orbital Vessels
Solid tumours made of blood vessels - four to know
- Capillary hemangioma - the infant's vascular tumour
- Why an infant lump can still steal vision
- Capillary hemangioma by the numbers
- Under the microscope (histopathology)
- Natural history and how it presents
- Imaging the capillary hemangioma
- Treatment - first, do very little
- Corticosteroids - the workhorse drug
- The danger of steroid injection - and how to dodge it
- When steroids fail, or cannot be used
- Surgery for capillary hemangioma
- Cavernous hemangioma - the adult's vascular tumour
- Cavernous hemangioma - pathology and course
- Cavernous hemangioma - how it looks and when to treat
- Cavernous hemangioma - imaging and surgical approaches
- Hemangioblastoma - the tumour that flags a syndrome
- Hemangioblastoma - features and the eye exam
- Hemangioblastoma - imaging and treatment
- Hemangiopericytoma - a pericyte tumour
- Hemangiopericytoma - pathology and presentation
- Hemangiopericytoma - imaging and treatment
- Hemangiopericytoma - key figures
Orbital Vascular Malformations
Plumbing errors, not true tumours - grouped by flow
- Lymphangioma - the no-flow malformation
- Lymphangioma - pathology and natural history
- Lymphangioma - features and the 'chocolate cyst'
- Lymphangioma - imaging and treatment
- Orbital varix - the venous-flow malformation
- Orbital varix - types and the tell-tale sign
- Orbital varix - acute danger, pathology, imaging
- Orbital varix - management
- Orbital AV malformation - the arterial-flow lesion
- Orbital AVM - Wyburn-Mason and clinical features
- Orbital AVM - imaging and treatment
- The three malformations at a glance
Carotid-Cavernous Fistula
A secondary lesion: high-pressure arterial blood short-circuits into a vein
- What is a carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF)?
- Direct versus indirect fistulae
- Barrow angiographic classification of CCF
- Two very different natural histories
- Where the blood goes decides the picture
- Clinical presentation - the classic picture
- The quiet dural fistula and its complications
- Imaging the fistula
- Treatment - protect vision, preserve the artery
- Treating the indirect fistula, and mopping up
- How does hemodynamics (flow) unify the whole classification of orbital vascular lesions?
