Abstract:
Background :
Orbital Venolymphatic Malformations (OVLMs) are rare, benign cystic vascular malformations. Materials and Methods : A retrospective study of treatment modalities for OVLM in 20 patients was studied over 2 years at a Tertiary Eye Care Centre. They were categorised under observation, medical (oral Propranolol and oral steroids) and surgical management (intralesional sclerotherapy and debulking surgery). The results were graded as poor, moderate or good response.
Results :
3 patients kept under observation were lost to follow up, 4 patients showed moderate response to oral Propranolol, 4 patients showed moderate response to oral steroids, 7 patients showed moderate response to intralesional sclerotherapy, 2 out of the 7 patients were taken up for debulking and showed good response.
Conclusion :
Intralesional Sclerotherapy is a good option for superficial lesions. Additional debulking surgery in deep seated lesions cases has shown good response and proven to be sight saving.
