Vascular diseases are an important part of orbital pathology. We describe vascular tumours of the orbit and vascular diseases with repercussion on the orbit, from intra or extra orbital origin. The classification of these abnormalities is difficult and several terms are used to describe the same histological entity. The objective of this work is, using the current classification, to illustrate the different imaging aspects of the most frequent vascular diseases of the orbit.

D002426 Cavernous Sinus An irregularly shaped venous space in the dura mater at either side of the sphenoid bone. Sinus, Cavernous
D002538 Intracranial Arteriovenous Malformations Congenital vascular anomalies in the brain characterized by direct communication between an artery and a vein without passing through the CAPILLARIES. The locations and size of the shunts determine the symptoms including HEADACHES; SEIZURES; STROKE; INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES; mass effect; and vascular steal effect.

D003952 Diagnostic Imaging Any visual display of structural or functional patterns of organs or tissues for diagnostic evaluation. It includes measuring physiologic and metabolic responses to physical and chemical stimuli, as well as ultramicroscopy. Imaging, Diagnostic,Imaging, Medical,Medical Imaging
D006392 Hemangioma, Cavernous A vascular anomaly that is a collection of tortuous BLOOD VESSELS and connective tissue. This tumor-like mass with the large vascular space is filled with blood and usually appears as a strawberry-like lesion in the subcutaneous areas of the face, extremities, or other regions of the body including the central nervous system.

D006393 Hemangiopericytoma A tumor composed of spindle cells with a rich vascular network, which apparently arises from pericytes, cells of smooth muscle origin that lie around small vessels. Benign and malignant hemangiopericytomas exist, and the rarity of these lesions has led to considerable confusion in distinguishing between benign and malignant variants. (From Dorland, 27th ed; DeVita Jr et al., Cancer: Principles & Practice of Oncology, 3d ed, p1364) Hemangiopericytomas
