A case of intraorbital arteriovenous malformation presenting with visual loss, exophthalmos, and chemosis of the right eye is reported. Enhanced computer tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed extraocular muscle enlargement and vascular abnormality in the right retrobulbar space. Angiography revealed an abnormal intraorbital vascular stain with an extremely dilated right ophthalmic artery. Total removal of the intraorbital contents was performed after unsuccessful endovascular and surgical treatment of arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Histopathological examination disclosed an AVM in the retrobulbar fatty tissue with extension into the extraocular muscles and optic nerve.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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
