OBJECTIVE To report the clinical findings and management of spontaneous hemorrhage in an unsuspected intraorbital arteriovenous malformation. METHODS Interventional case report. METHODS Review of clinical findings, radiologic studies, and treatment of the patient. RESULTS A 75-year-old woman sought treatment for the rapid onset of severe proptosis. Orbital exploration of a "mass" imaged on computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging resulted in massive intraoperative hemorrhage. Subsequent arteriographic and histopathologic analysis confirmed an underlying orbital arteriovenous malformation. CONCLUSIONS Spontaneous intraorbital hemorrhage from an arteriovenous malformation is extremely rare, but should be considered in the differential diagnosis of rapidly progressive proptosis.

D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D001165 Arteriovenous Malformations Abnormal formation of blood vessels that shunt arterial blood directly into veins without passing through the CAPILLARIES. They usually are crooked, dilated, and with thick vessel walls. A common type is the congenital arteriovenous fistula. The lack of blood flow and oxygen in the capillaries can lead to tissue damage in the affected areas. Arteriovenous Malformation,Malformation, Arteriovenous,Malformations, Arteriovenous
